What Can I Do with my Bluetooth Phone? LG VX8300?

I just got a new LG VX8300 and have successfully hooked it up to bluetooth on my MBP. I was able to upload my contact list onto my MBP and I know that Verizon disables me from sending pictures and music to my MBP right? But what else can I use Bluetooth for with this phone?

Under system profiler | bluetooth | LG VX8300 it tells me:
Services: AV Remote Control Target, Voice Gateway, Voice Gateway, BT DIAG, Bluetooth Modem, OBEX Object Push, AV Audio Source

What does this mean I can do? Thanks.

Also - download BitPim http://www.bitpim.org
Be sure when configuring settings in Bitpim that you use BT-DIAG as the port for communicating with the phone.

Otherwise read the thread at the forum linked to above and you'll learn a lot.

I'm still searching for Mac OS X specifics we can do with the 8300 - just started my search though.

Allow me to suggest that you do NOT get an LG phone, especially if you’re on the Verizon network. These characters have disabled many features in order to force you to purchase their crappy tunes as well as Verizon’s access.
To me it’s a big scam forcing the purchaser to continue spending ever more $$$$ on his cell.

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) I have two LGs (4300 & VX8100) NEVER AGAIN

I have the VX8300 on Verizon and I have uploaded ringtones, photo's and I have heard you can get music mp'3 to play on it. You need Three things to do any of it. One is bitpim ( which is a free download) and a microSD card. A card reader for the microSD card. Bitpim and bluetooth will let you up/download pictures, ringtones, Contacts, and Calender items. To get music you need to load them on the memory card using a reader, then putting into phone. There is alot of info on the web to help with all of this. Verizon disables these items on all of their phones.
