    iphone 4 and bluetooth

    My son has talked me into getting the new iphone4 32g and my first impressions are quite good always having nokia in the past
    but i cant get the bluetooth to work. What i want to do is use it to connect to my macbook air via bluletooth (the macbook air has bluetooth).I can connect via usb but the airbook only has 1 usb port which i use my mobile dongle in when away from home.So it is a pain to keep unplugging it and losing my internet connection
    The phone when searching for devices dose not find anything even though other phones can find my laptop and my laptop can find my iphone but wont let me browse or do anything else
    I have herd that the bluetooth is not the best on the iphone but surely it should work with a apple laptop?

    If i understand you correctly, you want to browse your iphone through bluetooth. If so, then m8 it's not possible (but i'm not sure since i don't have iphone 4). All the synchronisation you must do via usb and iTunes.... iphone's bluetooth is for headphones or sound transmission only....

      once jailbroken there a bluetooth app that allows u to send and recive files
      its called iBrr-v1.0

      ★★★★★ ❝This app is awesome. Everyone should get this app...❞ -- iTunes Store Review ★★★★★

      iBrr lets you control the music on your iPod touch, iPad or iPhone from another iPhone OS device without ever missing a phone call, even if you?re four or five rooms away.

      ☞Buy once and you can install on all of your "iDevices" using the same iTunes account.

      When you?re at home, the office, enjoying the boat or cottage and want to listen to music, you naturally hook your iPod into a sound system. What could be better than hearing all your favorite tunes over great speakers while you work or relax? The downside is having to go to your iPod every time you want change or replay a song. Well, forget about doing that from now on. Make life easier for yourself by downloading the iBrr Bluetooth Receiver and Remote app.

      You?ll love the freedom you get from this application. Sit on the couch without having to get up to turn on your music or skip over a song. Repeat the playing of a tune in the living room without leaving the kitchen or bathtub. Just keep your second iDevice handy and give it a quick tap when you want to skip, repeat or adjust the volume on your other device. If one of the devices you?re using is an iPhone, don?t worry about missing any calls because iBrr can automatically pause the music so you can answer.

      Nothing could be easier than this app for music lovers. You can mix and match the devices; they don?t have to be the same. iBrr works with iPhones, iPod Touches and even the new iPad. You can use a previous model with a newer one, too, so now that you?ve upgraded to the 3GS, you know what to do with that "old" iPhone.

      Bluetooth range depends upon the structure of the building or vessel you?re in. Normally, iBrr can work up to four or five rooms away or two or three decks on a yacht. The app also works when the devices are connected to the same WiFi LAN, so in this instance, it of course depends upon the number and location of WiFi access points and can therefore be quite far indeed.

      Features:
      ● Great use for second device
      ● Aggressive bluetooth filtering provides maximum stability
      ● Stays connected when device sleeps or screen lock button is pushed
      ● Screen Saver Enhancement available - see http://www.i-brr.com
      ● Allows freedom of movement while enjoying music
      ● Can work up to 4 or 5 rooms away or 2 or 3 decks on a vessel
      ● Can be set to automatically pause for incoming calls on iPhones
      ● Finer volume control - Twice as many volume control divisions as the device's built-in volume buttons
      ● Large, easy, tap screen controls
      ● Connects automatically if desired
      ● Allows for a private security key to control access
      ● Also works when devices are connected to the same WiFi LAN
      ● New version upgrade free with purchase

      Buy iBrr now and you get not only a special low price but also the next upgrade for free. You don?t want to miss out on the new version, either. Developers are planning lots of new features, like gesture controls and the remote selection of playlists, plus special enhancements for iPad.

      Why wait for the new release and pay more? Download iBrr Bluetooth Receiver and Remote today. You?ll get music control freedom, the latest technology and a free upgrade.

      IMPORTANT:1st Gen. iPod or iPhone will only work over WiFi. Song, artist information and volume control may be disabled when you play music through docking stations or other devices that control the iPod or display song and artist info.

      iBrr was created in August of 2009 by John Reimer at Techno Gurus, inc.

                  jailbreaking does not invalidate the warrantie mate- all you have to do is restore the iphone back to factory settings using the restore button on itunes before taking it back to the shop. try ibluenova and ifile for full bluetooth fuctions on a jailbroken iphone.

                    You dont need to break the warranty at all. At no point will you void the warranty, as you can restore to factory at any time using itunes.

                      Thanks guy for your answers
                      so is it possible to jailbreak it as i have upgraded the soft ware to 4.01?
                      And if so how safe is jailbreaking ie can you brick your phone while doing it.Because like i said the phone is quiet good apart from the bluetooth the internet is pretty quick in fact a lot quicker than my old N97 and i just find this unplugging my mobile dongle a pain if i have to upload some conntacts ect to send to a client

                          Yup jailbreak away on 4.0.1, also install the exploit patch after doing so, and install my3g to use face time over 3G no wifi required, another reason to jb your iphone !!
