Blackberry question

I have just received a Blackberry Curve 8900, and I tried to bluetooth an audio file from my Nokia x2 to no avail. My question is:
  1. is it possible to use the blackberry in the same way I was using my Nokia x2 in listening to music and podcasts?
  2. will I need a cable to transfer audio files?
  3. is bluetooth only available for peripherals, to avoid copyright theft?

    I also have a BB 3g just bought and it doesnt like bluetoothing..!

    Googling seems to suggest its an issue.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Sending files by Bluetooth on Blackberrys can be done however they don't like it from different phones as you have found out. If you have a memory card reader I find that's the quickest way.

    Can a Blackberry be unlocked with a code or does it need a cable and shop?

    I have recently swapped mine with my wife, and she now has a BB full of notes, memos, and calendar entries. How do I do a factory restore? And why can I not read Sim contact as default like other phones?

    Is it not ridiculous that RIM can get away with selling a device which struggles to communicate via agreed protocols i.e bluetooth...thank god the wi fi works and the GPRS and the phone even..

    To wipe your Blackberry go Options > Security > Security Wipe select what you want to wipe and follow the instructions. Make sure you have a back up.

    Is it possible to record phone calls on the BB? How is it done?
