I thought of doing this,
but decided that in view of my total ignorance of the subject
it might be a little dangerous - bluetooth might never work again ...

But regarding pairing, I was wondering about the probably mythical future
in which one wanders through a shopping mall
getting info on bargains on one's bluetooth phone.
Will the phone have to pair with all these shops?
Or can one download some info without pairing?
