"It was stated" by who?
Read ALL the reports carefully.
You'll find some are written by people who have a fraction of the Bluetooth knowledge posted on this site.
NO reference has been made in any snarfing report about a successful link with a 'hidden' BT device.
An experienced BT user are you?
Get your facts straight or get a phone befitting your approach to communications...
... a Nokia.

I just watched this weeks
click online on bbcworld. Its about the world of WiFi and they covered bluesnarfing with a demonstration using a T610. It seems that a pc with special software is required to do this at the moment but it was an impressive demonstration.
They also had segment on bluejacking with jelliellie chatting for a min or two.
you can view the program, or segments, on the page I linked to above

I was waitin for a haircut the other day,and they had a copy of the sun, so i flicked it open and had a browse through. I found an article about bluesnarfing there, and i saw that they had labelled bluejacking and bluesnarfing the same thing, and this totally isn't true! (is it?)
Also
@ Aussie Blue Bay: It's vaguely amusing when people use buying a nokia as an insult.

It's not the first instance i've seen, but its a bit sad innit? (funny as well though).

@masseur:
Just checked out your click link. Thanks for the post.
As it said right at the end of the video though ( and as my previous post stated) nothing to fear for anyone with Bluetooth in non-discoverable or hidden mode.
...regardless of being turned on for normal operation.
The REAL vulnerability as we all know, is for those h/sets that DON'T have a 'hidden' option.
And we know which brand THAT involves.

I need a bluesnarfing software for the Symbian UIQ.
I'm not a fan of prank calls, but I truly am a besserwisser from time to time. My friend think's he's so cool when he's using his iPAQ to send contacts to me, calling it "bluejacking". O'boy. Wait 'til I get my hands on his address book!

"Bluesnarfing", which allows malicious users to connect to Bluetooth-enabled cellular phones and other devices without going through the pairing/authorization process, has become a larger problem, according to Daily Wireless. Several new phones have been found to have vulnerabilities in their Bluetooth software that allow malicious users to gain unauthorized access to a Bluetooth device and access a user's phonebook (including pictures, if any), calendar, realtime clock, and the IMEI number used to uniquely identify the phone. The IMEI number can be used to illegally "clone" a handset.
The Sony Ericsson T610 and Nokia 6310i have now been added to the vulnerable list, bringing the total number of known-affected devices up to five Sony Ericsson and five Nokia handsets. Some have other security problems as well, according to watchdog site BlueStumbler.
Until a fix is released from the manufacturer of the handset, the only recourse is to disable "Discoverable" mode on the affected handsets. BlueStumbler reports that there are known exploits that can work even then, however.

THERE IS NO NEED TO SHOUT!
And yes you need osftware of some or other type to be able to 'steal' data from a phone.. but I guess the more important question is: WHY do you want to do it?
