Please read http://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothAdapter.html and notice that getDefaultAdapter() returns a real Adapter only if Bluetooth support exists. If Bluetooth support exists, but is turned off, then getState() returns STATE_OFF.
At least that is the way it is supposed to work: I have vague memories of getDefaultAdapter() returning null when the adapter was turned off on my T-mobile G2. But I can't vouch for that, and am not taking out the time to test for it now. There is a broadcast action you can wait for: ACTION_STATE_CHANGED. Wait for this and then check to see what it changed to: on or off.
