Okei.... I've been doing some research since my first post and now I'm really confused. I'm programming in xp, and found some c++ code out of this world that supposidly should list all available services to a given bluetooth device. This code however where only working with certain bluetooth-devices supported by the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack. If someone out there has any advice/ experience on bluetooth-programming on laptops (preferably in windows) I would appreciate it. Maybe there is some easy-to-grasp tutorials out there using the windows API for bluetooth-programing???

At the lowest level, you should be able to create sockets for Bluetooth communications (see the socket module's documentation and the source code in Modules/socketmodule.c); for example: from socket import * s = socket(AF_BLUETOOTH, SOCK_STREAM, BTPROTO_RFCOMM) On Linux, upon binding a device file to the Bluetooth device, you can use things like pySerial to manage the communications; this works with software like t616hack: http://www.nelson.monkey.org/~nelson/weblog/tech/phone/ http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/ Various other tools exist which understand Bluetooth communications, notably the OpenOBEX tools: http://triq.net/obex/ I prefer to work with tools at the higher levels (obexftp to access files, pySerial/t616hack to access messages), but provided your Python distribution is set up correctly, you should be able to work at the lowest levels too.
