Windows 7 Pro + Bluetooth Cell Phone

I just got a replacement cell phone (an LG235C for my TracFone service) and it has a camera. I've never had or used a camera so this is new. I'd like to be able to take pics and upload them to my desktop.

I know that the phone has Bluetooth (which I also know next to nothing about) and found a web page about how to go about getting the phone 'paired' with the computer. I turned the Bluetooth on on the phone and I went to my computer's Control Panel > Hardware > Add a device and waited for it to detect the phone. I played with the searching (making the phone 'visible' for the search process) and some other things, but I can't seem to get the computer and phone to 'pair.' The computer still doesn't know the phone is there.

I realize I could get a cable for uploads (not sure what kind of cable to get) but I figure if I can get the wireless part of it to work, I'll try it first.

What am I missing here with the set-up with the phone and the desktop ?
