Did you recently download a new ring tone for your cell phone, and your friends are begging you for a copy? Or maybe you took the perfect shot of your kids using your camera phone, and your wife wants a copy on her phone.

Most newer cell phones come equipped with Bluetooth technology that lets them connect to any other Bluetooth device, including another cell phone. That means you'll be able to easily transfer media between cell phones, including photos, videos, phone book entries or internet bookmarks. There are also no charges for transferring ring tones or photos between phones using Bluetooth.

These steps will help you enable Bluetooth on your phone and walk you through transferring media between phones.

Enable Bluetooth

Most phones ship with Bluetooth disabled to save on battery life, so you'll first need to enable Bluetooth on both phones. The steps below are for tranferring photos between two Motorola Razr phones, so you may need to refer to your user's manual if you have a different phone (the steps should be very similar though).

Open both phones and select the following menu options:

Menu --> Settings --> Connection --> Bluetooth Link --> Setup --> Power

Change the Power setting to "On". This will enable Bluetooth on your phone. (The center button on the top of the button pad is the Menu button )

Select the Photo

I'll refer to the phone containing the photo as the main phone, and I'll refer to the other phone as the target phone. In order to transfer media from the main phone to the target phone, select the media from the main phone using the following menu options:

For transferring photos:
Menu --> Multimedia --> Pictures

For transferring videos:
Menu --> Multimedia --> Videos

Copy the photo to the other RAZR phone

Scroll through the pictures and select the one you want to copy to the other phone. Select the following menu options to initiate the transfer:

Menu --> Copy --> [Look for devices]

Your phone will search for other Bluetooth devices, and as long as the target RAZR phone is within range of the main phone, it will copy the image over to the target phone.

Once the photo has finished copying over to the target phone, you can store it on your system or set it as your wallpaper.

Here's a link to the Motorola Razr User's Guide with instructions on page 88 for Bluetooth photo transfers.
