Quotes from midlet-review.com:

BluetoothFlirt "permanently searches in the surrounding to find another BluetoothFlirt-user. After detecting the mobile will automatically calculate a flirt factor based on the data of both mobile users. Also a picture of the flirt partner is submitted automatically via Bluetooth."

BBC on blue-snarfing again

Blue-snarfing

"Currently we can steal the whole of your phone book, that’s your whole contact list, your calendar, any multimedia objects that you’ve associated with any of those, so if you’ve taken a picture of your girlfriend and associated that with her entry in your phone book I’ll get that picture as well, and some technical details about your phone, including its serial number, which is used in phone cloning."

Sony Ericsson: "Since we found out about the Bluesnarfing problem we have fixed it in our new and future handsets." "later on this year we will be bringing out a patch for existing handsets which will be available from our service centres and mobile phone retailers."

Nokia: "Under Nokia’s understanding, the potential SNARF-attack using Bluetooth may apply only with the Nokia 6310, 6310(i), 8910, and 8910(i). Furthermore, the claimed SNARF-attack on the Nokia 7650 requires physical access to the device and is therefore not feasible. That’s why Nokia regards the Nokia 7650 safe from the attack. "
