When I bought my first Bluetooth enabled BlackBerry I was kind of surprised to learn that you could not send and receive contacts over Bluetooth. This was such a basic feature on all my previous Nokia & Sony Ericsson phones that I just assumed it would be there. Over the years RIM allowed us to send contacts over email, BlackBerry Messenger, and IM and files/media over Bluetooth but still they do not let us send contacts over Bluetooth… (At least as far as I have seen) This is funny since 4.2+ OS versions let you send your whole address book to Bluetooth handsfree kits.
Anton let me know that he developed bbCard for exactly this purpose. bbCard is simple application that lets you send and receive contacts over Bluetooth. Pretty simple right? Makes you wonder why RIM can’t/won’t do this natively? The app has a free 7 day trial for you to make sure it works after which it is $4.95 in the store which is a tad high for a one trick wonder app. It works with all OS 4.2.1+ devices.
