You have a few alternatives:

1. Using the emulator with Bluetooth HW (you need either two PCs with similar setup or one PC with the emulator and a phone):

-you can purchase a H4 or BCSP compatible Bluetooth card, install it as a COM port, and run Bluetooth examples in the phone emulator included in the SDK. Please go to Technology -> Bluetooth -> Documents section at forum.nokia.com and download a 'Setting Up and Using Bluetooth Hardware with Development Tools' document for further information on system requirements and installation guide.

-Symbian does not provide support for Bluetooth USB dongles in the SDKs. However, with a specific driver software from Cyberabi (independent software developer) you can use many USB dongles -> further information at www.cyberabi.com

2.Using Bluetooth simulation (without Bluetooth HW):

-Go to Tools section at forum.nokia.com and download a Nokia Connectivity Framework tool. It enables you to run multiple emulators and simulate the Bluetooth traffic between them.

Hopefully you can find an ideal solution for your needs.
