Nokia Wireless Charging Stand - What are Bluetooth profiles?

Bluetooth profiles are definitions of possible applications and specify general behaviors that Bluetooth enabled devices use to communicate with each other. For example, the Handsfree Profile is used between the handsfree device and the phone. Bluetooth compatibility is gained when Bluetooth enabled devices share (use and understand) the same profile(s).

Common profiles used for most devices are A2DP, Headset, Hands-Free.
