Welcome to the forum :D

Your best option is to get the latest version of Smart Explorer from binarys.com.

Check this collection of BT threads for advice etc :

does it just need installed on the phone or does it need to be installed on the pc aswell? thanks for your help btw

Just the phone.

If you have XP you've got everything you need, PC-side

Just on the phone. I've only had my c500 for 1 month and wanted to know this aswell the other week as I was having problems sending to other phones. Using smart explorer I can send and receive to nokia mobiles no problems but I can't seem to get it to send to the samsung D500.

I got the same problem with a samsung d500. I have some mates (all who have d500s) who I can send and receive and some i cannot. There is a thread somewhere specifically for this.

The best way I found to send and recieve was with third party software - eg mobiluck.

Some times you can achieve partial success by persevering and deleting the partnership and re bonding.

Not an exact science unfortunatley.

I cant send to a friends K700 with "file manager" -> "send via IR" and on that thread they said it searches for BT, it didnt find anything... :?:

The problem with the built in file manager is that its purely random. Theres a massive thread somewhere on here where nearly every person reoprts something different happening.

Best thing to do is not to bother with it and install either smart explorere or mobiluck or both.

I have both but i always use mobiluck (beta) as

1. It automatically turns on bluetooth (use with speed dial to good effect)

2. Able to send files / contacts messages with ease.

3. User interface loads better than built in / smart explorer.
