    You should be able to because it's the same technology.

    Thats correct. What ever software your bluetooth device on your PC came with it should have asearch option. Make sure bluetooth is turned on on your phone.

    Nice looking phone though.

    ...but sadly, to do that, you need to mod it so it even ACCEPTS a ringtone.

    Does it have a mini-USB port on the side or bottom?
