Set up Bluetooth on the Sony Ericsson K800i and you'll be able to connect to other Bluetooth devices wirelessly for nothing

The Sony Ericsson K800i has Bluetooth technology, which can connect to other Bluetooth devices like handsfree headsets, or let you easily swap files like pictures, ringtones, videos or contacts with other people for free. It works by looking for other Bluetooth devices nearby and then connects to them to wirelessly transfer files.
