Yes.  I have an Ericsson T39m that has Bluetooth.  I was able to use a
Linux program to add a menu via Bluetooth to the phone and control a music
stream via xmms.  After a _lot_ of effort to get it to work I found that the
Bluetooth range is so small that I couldn't walk out in the hall and use
the phone as a remote!  I'm now waiting for a cell phone with 802.11.
