Belkin Bluetooth Device+ SE k800i

Have just got a new bluetooth dongle for the computer- its a Belkin 100m which is like £17 in Comet.
Apart from being able to send files from and to the computer and use the phone as a remote control.
Was wondering if you can access files from the computer on the phone- such as music tracks etc (like you would on a wifi network) and if so how?
Also is it possible to share the computers internet connection on the phone?
Any help appreciated

well bluetooth and WIFI are different technologies. unless your phone is WIFI then u anit got a chance at all.
even if it did u wouldn't be able to file share anyway because of different protocols and security's on your computer. not as simple as browse round your pc with ur phone.
not much u can do apart from file share use ur phone as a modem and remote control..0 -

In order to stream music from your computer to your phone/other audio device i.e. headphones it would have to be A2DP enabled. A bluetooth dongle isn't going to do this, well not a cheap one anyway.0
