If you have in Infra Red port on your mobile phone then you can turn the infra red on for both of them and send contact's across, many people use them to connect laptops to the internet although bluetooth is better for that as your phones got to be pretty close to it.

Can also connect PDA's to your laptop using it too.

I have one on my laptop and use it all the time.

You can connect your phone through it, download contacts, mess with the phone settings, send and download messages, basically use your phone on your PC.

Very handy.
