I cannot get my I pad blue tooth to recognise my Nokia N8 blue tooth HELP !!!!!

The only phone that the iPad will pair with via bluetooth is the iPhone, and even then you are limited to what you can do. The file and picture transfer functions you are probably looking for are not supported, even for the iPhone.

There are some jailbreak tweaks that will allow bluetooth paring with some phones for tethering, but that is about it. Actually the only phone I know for sure this can be done with is a Blackberry, but there might be a couple others.

You can read more about jailbreaking (if interested) in the Hacking section.
