But alas, a new satnav has forced me to give it another go with bluetoothing my mobile. So there I was in a café last week, trying to get the pairing done. The TomTom satnav could recognise the Windows phone but it couldn't pair, presumably because the phone couldn't 'see' the satnav. (They were lying next to each other on the table.)
What I could see on my phone, however, was that I was already paired with a Sony phone! Now, I don't have a Sony anything, and I have certainly never tried to pair with one. So what was going on there? Could a stranger have successfully paired with my phone, without my knowledge or approval - and if so, what would he/she have been able to access on my phone? Or could it simply have been the wifi hub in the corner of the room?

Postscript: I finally managed to pair the satnav with the phone at home, at the eighth attempt. For the time being! But my confidence in the security of Bluetooth-anything has generally taken a bit of a knock. Am I just being paranoid? TIA for all suggestions.
