Bluetooth Phone and OS X

I wasn't sure where to post this so I figured I'd put it here to be safe. I just bought a Sony Ericsson T637 mobile phone with Bluetooth. I bought the D-Link USB Bluetooth adapter to get my phone to talk to my G5. I'm having problems trying to "get" an image from my G5 to my phone. I'm able to sync my address book and iCal with the phone, place images from my phone to the G5, but not the other way around. I wanted to create a background for the phone which is 8-bit rgb jpg and upload it to the phone. Unfortunately, when I do this... the image shows as a broken link and when I select it the phone freezes. I haven't been able to find much info regarding OS X and syncing with a Bluetooth phone.

Hmmm... so what's the difference between a mobile phone with Bluetooth and a SmartPhone with Bluetooth?

A smartphone is basically the same as a mobile phone, but the difference being the non-usage of properitery software by a specific mobile phone company. They use Symbian software instead. It behaves more like a computer and less like a mobile phone...
