How do you find out if your computer has bluetooth? A friend got a new mobile and they want to add songs/ringtones to it but there is no cable. Is there any other way of adding songs/music to mobile?

Either bluetooth or infrared. One way would be to search for the laptop on google and view the specs of it and what connectivity it's got.0

It would only mention Bluetooth in Device Manager if the function was turned on - usually a combination key using the Fn button and one of the F keys. There would also be a bluetooth logo/light somewhere around the keyboard to tell you whether it's switched on or off. As has been mentioned, a cable would be a better/easier option and they are available for the vast majority of phones - EBay is the cheapest source or your local market - avoid the main phone retailers. Bluetooth works well/easily between phones, but can be a bit more of a problem to set up on a computer.0

I don't think there is a cable for the phone, Nokia 2760, there certainly isn't in the box. Can anyone advise me different?0
