How do I get my iPhone to register my old phone on Bluetooth to get my old pics and other things?

You can’t do this with a non-Apple device. Believe me I’ve tried, i have an iPhone and my husband has a Blackberry, and it’s very frustrating because every other phone in the world can do this now. You can between one iPhone and another iPhone or iPod Touch or iPad, but not between an iPhone and a Blackberry. I can’t even do this between my iPhone and my Macbook.
You’ll need to download a trial of one of the Blackberry desktop managers and put the pictures on a computer, and then sync them to your new iPhone with iTunes. Sycamoira
Apple doesn’t allow any bluetooth file transfer in or out. This means you can’t send or receive files over bluetooth with the iPhone. Transfer the photos to your computer and place them in iTunes. From there you will be able to sync them to your iPhone. Fringgo

You can’t.
The iPhone Bluetooth profile will only accept devices acting as headsets, such a headsets, speakers, in-car bluetooth kits.
You can either try copying the photos off your old phone to your comupter and then sync them with your iPhone using iTunes.
Or
MMS them to your iPhone and then save them in your iPhone photo app. my-iGuru.com
