Sivan Toledo has posted a new article here. The Joystick Controlled Ultrasonic Explorer is a great example of two-way Bluetooth communication between a PC and the NXT. He's also included a video.

I got it AND I'm lost! NOT to knock what was posted by Mr. (professor) Sivan. I'm sure it works if your smart enough.
Sort of joking but serious. My Son-In-Law is a Dr. in Education (really smart guy) but I NEVER tell him that. heheheheheh..
Anyway, I got everything working while babysitting my little new grandbabies (yes I looked often if everything was OK).. After my usuall brain spazes.. I finally got the port I should have used.. then.. GEEE. I did not know what to do after that. Just me?
My first pick was the port with all the 'fancy' stuff after it. Like in Outgoing Dev B... I used it because it 'looked' very important... Very wrong! I got something like 'ERROR! something stupid I did!.. I typed back I know I'm stupid! What do I do next?
I was thinking.. Outgoing MUST talk to the brick!
Then I find out Incomming was what was wanted! Geeee.. /////////////////////////////// I'm posting NOT to knock Mr. Sivan.. It is wonderful that he post all kinds of stuff for the NXT.. We need more of that! ///////////////////////////////
I THANK HIM VERY MUCH ( Big Huggers!).
////////////////////////////////
That said, I use to write service manuals and I got lost! I got everything connected and then I did not know what to do next... So I re-read all the instructions... I got COM 8 true! I thought that was GOOD!
The School Teacher came out in him after that and he gave me a test! I love it!
But, I'm the guy in the back of the class (THAT WAS PAYING ATTENTION) and I was still lost!
Could a stupid old man about 65 or so get a 'small test program, WITH instructions' to test if I got it right?
Mr. Sivan.. Sorry, I had to.. Sometimes you are to smart and forget us 'dummies!'
Somewhere I saw.. Click on the Bluetooth Icon.. Select Advanced configuration.. There was none! But I'm old and do not see to well these days...
Then I saw , something about a NXT mailbox? What?
There is NO hate here.. Just a old man thinking of my experience. Send hate mail if you want to. I'm to old to care!
Again no hate here and I thank Mr. Sivan for his code. Maybe I'll live long enough to use it!
