Remote controll via bluetooth works perfect for Nikon D800 using IPhone 4s.

How does that work? Is BlueSLR the name of the app? I wonder if there is an app for the Android. What is the range? Sounds intriguing.

I'm glad at least a few people have their D800. I received the MB-D12 battery grip about a month ago but have no Idea when the camera will arrive. I ordered it at the end of March hoping I would have it before my California Redwoods/Oregon Coast trip next month. I can still hope :). I always have the D300s to fall back on but I'm dying to try out my new Sigma 12-24 Lens.

You have a phone, you have a DSLR, yet although you love them both equally, the two pretty much never speak. This failure in capturing synergistic value is now at an end, however, thanks to the BlueSLR Bluetooth dongle and its accompanying iOS app. Compatible with iPhones (down to the 3G model), iPod touches (second generation and above), and iPads, this remote control system will let you manually trigger your Nikon's shutter release from a distance of up to 300 feet. There's also GPS tagging, if you're into that sort of thing, and a toggle in the app for adjusting exposure length. The app itself's free, though the dongle will set you back a mighty $149. At least it communicates via Bluetooth, which won't require line of sight like Nikon's own IR remotes. Compatibility is set to expand to include Canon DSLRs and Android and BlackBerry smartphones in the future, but if you've already got a D5000 and an iPhone 4 lying around looking wistfully at one another, you can pre-order your BlueSLR at the source link below.
