Bluetooth lets you beam business cards to other PDAs from your HP iPAQ instantly. Here’s how.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Set up your business card. Open up the "Contacts" application and create a contact for yourself. Include your name, title, e-mail address and phone number.
Step 2

Go back to the "Today" screen. Tap the "Bluetooth" icon in the corner and select "Bluetooth Settings." Tap the tab for “Information Exchange.”
Step 3

Tap the icon to the right of “My Business Card (vCard)." The icon resembles a little contact card with a "V" on it.
Step 4

Choose your contact from the list. Select the entry you just made.
Step 5

Go back to the "Today" screen, tap "Start" and then “Bluetooth Manager.”
Step 6

Tap the "Business Card" icon. This appears on the bottom bar, to the right of the “New,” “Tools” and “View” menus.
Step 7

Select “Send.” Then select a device to receive your vCard. Tap "OK."

Tips & Warnings

You can request business cards. Select “Request” from the business card screen and tap the device from which you want to request a vCard.
You also can send documents and files through Bluetooth.
To avoid “bluejacking,” make sure your device is not discoverable when its not being used.
