Blue tooth and phones?

[Itchy]

Anybody care to explain this as regards to phones? , and transfering files, so like if I go get a blue tooth USB key thingie I can transfer files over to me PC where I can play with the pictures with photoshop?

K800I , sure sure I have a USB cable but would prefer not having to stick me head under the desk on a regular basis.

Any thoughts?

Yes although the cable will be faster.

Yeah. It's called a 'dongle' that simply plugs into your USB port.

Transfers pictures in about 5 seconds. Can take a minute or more to transfer something like a full length MP3.

Something I found when I first got mine was it had really crappy reception with my phone near the computer but fine across the other side of the room. Turns out this was because I'd put the dongle in a horizontal USB port at the front of the computer and the antena couldn't detect the signal properly from that close. I changed it to a vertical USB port in the back and it worked fine.

You can do ther bluetooth stuff using your computer too. I sometimes annoy people walking down the road by sending them messages off my computer as they walk past.

Thanks , I'll probably go get one tonight , the sending ghost messages sounds kind of amusing also and probably worth the £5 for a dongle alone.
