I'll admit to having been in the dark ages with Bluetooth, as I've never really had a use for it as I've got wireless so the internet sharing hasn't been necessary. But now that I've got a mobile, PDA and other devices I've needed to find some way of synchronising and using the lot of them and it's a bit of a pain to be honest.
