I recall seeing something about Bluetooth in RedHat's menus for several years now. I just now activated that and found a little Bluetooth file sharing application in the little task bar. With that active, I told my phone to look for Bluetooth devices (not expecting anything and getting my expectation).

I just got a cell phone (a BlackBerry) with Bluetooth. What hardware would I need to add to my PC to have Bluetooth interaction between PC & phone?

It's not like I really need that. The fone also comes with a USB cable and I'm sure Linux will probably have little trouble linking up with it that way. Has anyone ever transfered files between fone and PC that way? fotos? ringtones? other?

The BlackBerry even has WiFi, but I already know that my PC does not have that. What inexpensive ways are there to set up a hotspot at home?

Apparently, I can make and receive calls for free (except for a small monthly fee for said service IIRC) in a hotspot (at home, Starbucks, McDs, Kinko's, or ???) (altho home is about the only one of those places I'm ever at). With the proliferation of hotspots ever increasing, it's a service that I am considering.
