Just Follow These Simple Instructions.
1. Go to the contacts part of your phone.
2. Create a new contact - this could be under 'contacts' or phone book.
3. Set the name and details etc to whatever you want the recipient toother to see. Most toothers set theirs to be "Toothing?". You will also want to include your text number if you want to continue the conversation more easily. You may want to include the toothing blog's URL (toothing.blogspot.com) too, as then they can find this board and find you again.
4. To send a tooth message, select the contact you added from your phone book (if you entered the information as above, it'll be filed under 'Toothing?'), and then select 'Options'. Select 'Send Business Card' and then 'Via Bluetooth'.
5. Your device will now scour the area for available bluetooth devices. If you see a list - select the most exciting-sounding and hit 'send'. This process is entirely anonymous.
6. Wait for a response, and take it from there! If you have included your text number, they will be able to text you back. If you haven't, be sure you have listed your device name so they can send that back (it works equally well, although they will have to send a business card as described above. Experienced toothers will be comfortable with either method, although once contact has been established, texting is most convenient).
Do also make sure your device's visibility is set to "Shown to all" and, of course, that your Bluetooth is actually On!
Finally, Toothing with a PDA is much simpler. You should have an application called 'BlueChat' or something (aptly-named, huh?) which will enable you to connect and chat more easily.
