All you need to avoid this is to turn off 'Discoverable' in your  
bluetooth preferences.

This is a good thing to do anyway, apart from the actual moment a  
friend wants to send you a picture or something. This is not really  
an issue anyway, from personal experience I can say that my friends  
and I usually trade pictures and so on via our computers, not via  
phones, it just seems more convenient.
