The reason is that Ethernet (in the case of a wi-fi connection, but also some USB and Bluetooth devices) is basically using a star configuration where nodes need to connect to a hub -- you can only connect two nodes together if one of them can be made to act as a hub. Now, some devices are able to run in both hub and node modes (the OpenMoko comes to mind). I don't think Android and/or the current hardware supports this. Yet, anyway.

What I'm saying is that you need features in hardware, or at the very least in software, that just aren't available.

Disregarding all I've just said, it would be awesome to have any Android phone act as a wi-fi walkie-talkie!

not to bust your bubble man but if you had clicked on this link ( Cyrket - Bluetooth Fileshare - Bluex ) that i had posted above you would have seen the description which is :

Bluetooth Fileshare - Bluex
Xela AndroSoft

Price €1.40
Version 1.1.2
Downloads 1,000-5,000
Size 277638
Category Communication

RECEIVING FILES REQUIRES ROOT, SENDING WORKS WITHOUT IT

So, you bought the phone and you found out that it cannot do a simple task as sharing via BT. Duh!
This app comes to the rescue. It lets you send and receive files to/from other phones and devices that use the standard Obex Push protocol.

so in short yes you CAN do phone to phone....
