Bluetooth is a type of communication between two devices, just like a cable or infrared connection. The Bluetooth standard uses radio technology though.
You will be able to transfer pictures, ringtones, and other stuff with a Bluetooth connection. Just like if you use a cable. The only difference is that you won't "see" the connection like you see a cable

An IR-device is another technology. It's kind of like when you buy a car. You have the choise of a diesel or petrol engine. Similarly you can choose if you want an IR or Bluetooth (BT). The advantage with the BT is that you don't need to point the two communicating devices to each other. Like, if you have a BT handsfree, you can keep your phone in your pocket and still talk with the handsfree (which is wireless). This is possible because the BT technology uses radio signals (you don't need to point your radio directly to an FM base station whenever you want to listen to the radio, do you?
)
I haven't tried out any BT communication as yet, but will do when I get a new computer and a BT device
BT is also a newer technology than IR..
Hope this can help make things a little bit clearer

k guys tthe geeza oviusly is lookin for plain butt naked answer not one saying how ya can make it launch a rocket in2 space
bluetooth is a wireless technology
you can transfer data between two bluettoth enabled devices
you cannot download from websites via bluetooth as i think ur tryin 2 suggest in askin bout downloads
if u get th t68 (which u shud) n ur m8 has a phone wit bluetooth then you can exchange pics tones contacts etc etc all wirelessly and freely as long as ur within around 10metres of each other
its very nifty indeed
i use it 2 exchange stuff wit m8s who also have t68
but yest i used a nok 7650 wit the pc suite and bluetooth connection and boy that is cooooooooool
with this kinda set up u can sync ur phone and outlook no probs upload images 2 ur pc v.quick n easy (and vice versa) also use ur phone as a modem (though not really worth the hassle unless ya got GPRS)
simple : no cables no cost
bluetooth
true.

Synching a Nokia 7650 with Outlook is an extremly slow process!
http://www.infosync.no/news/2002/n/2088.html
"Calendar information and Contacts can be synchronized between the Nokia 7650 and several popular desktop PIM applications, but when it takes 6 minutes to synchronize a total of 370 contacts for the first time and 1 minute and 20 seconds to update 10 of them at a later point in time there's something seriously wrong somewhere."

Sorry, but Harald was never a Swede.
Harald Bluetooth was a viking and King of Denmark between 940 and 981. One of his skills was getting people to talk to each other, and during his rule Denmark and Norway were christianized and united.
