It may be a Samsung thing. I have actually been in touch with Samsung
about BT on my Katalyst (quad-band GSM phone - T-Mobile USA is the
carrier). I thought maybe T-Mobile had disabled some features on the
phone, but the choice to only support Bluetooth handsfree/headset
profiles was actually made by Samsung, not T-Mo.

Your mileage may vary, since you have a different phone and wireless
company...

check BITPIM to se if your phone is supported.
BING for it.

If you bought the phone at a Verizon store, it may be crippled! Verizon
would just love to make you pay to transfer files from your phone to
your computer and vice versa! If Verizon crippled your phone, you can
probably uncripple it at the cost of voiding your warranty!

A Samsung specific group, if there is one, might be able to provide
directions!

Most phones, especially Verizon's firmware, only support BT headsets, most
not even A2DP stereo phones.

Verizon sells data by the byte. If they let you use some BT gateway for
data transfers, it bypasses their revenue stream and control, completely.

Pfat Chance.
