First view this video link. It shows the process of a Nokia Bluetooth phone being hacked. And yes you can modify a USB Bluetooth adapter to scan for devices up to a mile away with a clear line of sight. But in this video the phone is right next to the Laptop with a standard USB Bluetooth adapter.

Video Here:

Tools used in video:
This is a live version of Audior(Linux) that can boot and run the entire OS from the CD-ROM. In other words ...you don't have to install anything...except a wireless card and a bluetooth adapter. There is a patch for this ISO though...I have to find it.
Auditor Security Collection (ASC)
http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/Auditor

The newest version of Auditor...is now called Back|Track. 100% stable out the box but the execution code you saw in the video may be slightly different on here...but not much.

Browse the forums for a day or two to read through the posts. Other people's questions will help a lot...that way you don't have to sound like the noobie.
The forums seem to be down at the time of this post..but should be back up shortly.

Everything but the USB adapter for Bluetooth and a wifi card is on the Auditor or Back|Track ISO ...it fits on a cd rom. This disk right here is why I dont use wi-fi or bluetooth. Most dangerous software in the world. So I suggest you only use it on your personal network:)

At first I thought such a connection at that distance was impossible but I saw that shit elsewhere that people of done over 1kilometer which is insane. Hard to get the right conditions but definatley cool. But bluetooth is slow as hell anyways. Good forum hookup though.

How to modify the adapter for longer distance.

It depends. I work for Verizon and our Bluetooth is always crippeled for file transfer etc. and can only be used for sending a vcard or for wireless headsets. Now if there was a way to tether your laptop to someones phone ( if in a static position and via BT ) one could gain access to the internet wirelessley, also having broadband speeds wherever EVDO coverage is available. With BitPim you can view actual folders and directories where data is stored in a phone, if they were able to utilize this over a distance, data could be copied or currupted too. Most of the time Contacts are the most valuable asset to a cell phone.

One other thing I'd reccomend to further give your curiosity a taste, next time you are in a crowded public area, turn bluetooth On on your cellphone and watch how many cellphones, PDA's and other divices you will see...It's pretty cool.

even if a phone is locked, can you still get thru with BitPim and unlock it?

That I'm not too sure of because I use the USB cable at work for bit pim. If I can get ahold of a BlueTooth dongle I'll give it a try though I doubt if it would work because we can't even flash a locked phone though it only takes like 30 seconds to get the unlock code.

Well honestly shit can occur but most of this is theory. With Bluetooth you gotta remember that there are things that can obstruct connectivity as with any wireless connection, blue tooth is just easier. Like say I wanted to connect to your phone a mile away, that's on a good day with nothing in between us ( Thick walls, buildings, trees, Refridgerators) and nothing else to hinder the connection. Now try doing that in an office building.....not so easy.

everything you need is pre installed in on this disk. You can use nero to burn it to a blank CD ROM. But you also need a bluetooth adapter/dongle. Not all bluetooth phones are vulnerable...but many are. Somebody posted a list somewhere...I'm still looking. The best thing to do is download the disk, go browse the forums at remote-exploit. org and read around and get the hang of the software. I was able to scan and pick up a couple of phones a while back, didnt get to make it beyond that point.

You can do anything the phone supports. IE send txt/mms messages, browse the phonebook, make calls, etc.

Which is one of the things I hate about Verizon. They're one of the only providers that do this. Except on their PDAs of course, but then they force you to purchase a separate data plan when using a PDA unless you want to just use it as a phone.

Pretty much all the phone manufacturers have closed the bluetooth holes that were open in the early bluetooth enabled phones. But that doesn't mean it isn't still possible to hack into phones.

It's still easy to transfer ringtones and shit. I've never paid for a single ringtone while with Verizon.
i know...i haven't either. it sucks tho when someone wants to send you something through bluetooth or you wanna send them something, but you can't because verizon tries to make sure you don't have anything they aren't getting money for.
