How can I transfer files via bluetooth in iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS

As an iPhone 4 user, I've been irritated by the fact that my iPhone does not allow me to directly transfer the files/images/videos and music via bluetooth to other phones. The sad thing is, iPhone has a BLUETOOTH + WIFI chip from Broadcom. But it has not enabled the Bluetooth chip.
