The following example shows how to create a Bluetooth RFCOMM socket connection to connect your app to a device:

Windows Phone 8 Networking Samples

Basically, you have to create a socket connection with a paired Bluetooth device:

PeerFinder.AlternateIdentities["Bluetooth:PAIRED"] = ""; 
var available_devices = await PeerFinder.FindAllPeersAsync(); 
if (available_devices.Count > 0) 
{            
   PeerInformation pi= // Select the device  
}
StreamSocket socket = new StreamSocket(); 
await socket.ConnectAsync(pi.HostName, "1");

This example was shown in Build 2012 conference. You will find the video of the presentation here:
