Well i've never been bluejacked, so no, it does not, and i keep my Bluetooth on and discoverable all the time.
Only a select few morons send abusive messages.

It's a good idea to set your K750i to HIDE PHONE.
I don't wish to be alarmist.. ..bypassing the security measures and giving them access to your info without your knowledge..
Well, like i said in a previous post:
In fact, of all the older phones that are at risk, only a small portion of them are vulnerable, and theres an even smaller portion of people who have the knowledge and software to bluesnarf phones.
Theres no reason to worry about your phones security, therefore theres no reason to turn your Bluetooth off or hidden.

Only reason to turn BT off in that case would be to save the battery. Maybe it doesn't drain that much battery, maybe it does. But it DOES drain battery.

So does turning the phone on.
I cannot say ive noticed any difference in battery life when having Bluetooth on or off. Bluetooth is a very weak signal that doesnt actually use up much more power.
Only when communicating with another device will battery life suffer significantly - such as when in use with a headset, or an application that uses Bluetooth (like Mobiluck).

Like I said, maybe it eats your battery maybe it doesn't, or that's what I meant anyway...
Well it doesn't maybe use alot of battery, but it DOES use battery. But prolly you won't even notice it...
