S60 Platform: Bluetooth API Developer's Guide
This document provides information on how to develop Bluetooth applications in C++. In Symbian OS, the Bluetooth API consists of various components, and there are also some additional S60 APIs. The document describes how to perform typical Bluetooth tasks such as discoverability and service advertising, device and service discovery, and communication using different protocols. Security and platform security, configurations, and changes in the Bluetooth API v2 architecture (introduced in S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 2) are also described. The document provides several code snippets from separately published code examples.

S60 Platform: Bluetooth Point-to-Multipoint Example
This C++ example demonstrates the use of Bluetooth technology: device and service
discovery, connection establishment to one or more devices, communication between
devices, and disconnection. The Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol is used as a transport
protocol. The updated version adds support for limited inquiry (LIAC) that considerably
speeds up the discovery process. Note that LIAC requires signing with a developer certificate.

S60 Platform: Bluetooth OBEX Example
This C++ code example provides a method for transferring objects or chunks of data from one device to another via Bluetooth. These chunks are typically files or other blocks of binary data. This example demonstrates how to run OBEX on top of the Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol, but OBEX can also be used with other transport media, such as IrDA and USB. In addition, the usage of a high-level messaging API, SendUI, is demonstrated. Main classes: TObexBluetoothProtocolInfo, TObexBaseObject, MObexServerNotify, CObexClient, CObexServer, CDocumentHandler, KPowerModeSettingNotifierUid, CSendUi, CSendAppUi.

Symbian OS: Overview To Networking
This document provides an overview to Symbian OS networking and communications capabilities, and provides pointers to the more detailed technical documents and examples available.

Series 80 Developer Platform 2.0: Bluetooth Examples
Package provides five Bluetooth C++ examples for Series 80 Developer Platform 2.0: BTAdvertiser, BTDiscovery, BTHCI, BTOBEX, and BTPointToPoint.

Games Over Bluetooth: Recommendations To Game Developers v1.0
This document provides recommendations for the use of Bluetooth in the development of multiplayer mobile games.

PC Connectivity over Bluetooth in Java™ Applications (with Examples)
This resource demonstrates how to create Java™ applications that use Bluetooth communication between a PC and a mobile device. The document focuses, from Java programming point of view, on how to configure and use two alternative PC-side solutions: COM-based and JSR-82-based solutions. The package includes several code examples both for PC and mobile devices.

MIDP: Bluetooth API Developer's Guide v2.0
This document describes the basics of Bluetooth connections and protocols. The RFCOMM and OBEX protocols are described in more detail. The document also provides step-by-step tutorials to help you create example MIDlets using the API.

MIDP: Bluetooth RFCOMM and L2CAP Examples
This MIDP application (btsppEcho MIDlet) demonstrates the usage of the JSR-82 Bluetooth API by creating a simple client/server pair using the RFCOMM protocol. This package also includes btl2capEcho MIDlet which demonstrates the same using L2CAP protocol. The Bluetooth API is currently supported by the S60 platform, from S60 2nd Edition onwards and by the Series 40 platform, from Series 40 2nd Edition onwards.

MIDP: Bluetooth OBEX Example - Business Card Exchanger
This MIDP application demonstrates the usage of the JSR-82 Bluetooth OBEX API by exchanging business cards between devices. The OBEX API is currently supported by the S60 platform, from S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 3 onwards.

Series 40 Platform: Using OBEX Random Access File Read
This document introduces an advanced OBEX mechanism for efficient remote file reading supported by the latest Series 40 devices. Using OBEX Random Access File Read, the OBEX Folder Browsing clients can fetch specific sections of files (for example, ID3 tags of MP3 files or thumbnail information of image files) residing in the file system of a Series 40 device in a performance-optimized way. This mechanism can be used over Bluetooth, USB, or IrDA connections.
