Bluetooth - bloody PITA

[keith_henson]

Just got me a new Ipaq smart phone and trying to get it to accept an incoming file from my old phone or vaio laptop is just not happening!

Really really do not want to enter all my contacts, numbers, emails seperatly

Any ideas people?

Or do i jsut wait to get home from work and use wifi and active sync with the craptop?

P.S. Wonder if i can put ubuntu on teh smart phone

you should be able to go to your cellphone dealer where you got the new phone from, and they have a machine that they hook the phones up to, and itll transfer all your stored numbers from the old to the new. its pretty slick, and works well. weve done that to a couple of our phones in the past after the crystals in the screens got broke. once was due to the puppy thinking a cell was a chew toy, the other phone.. well it got dropped too many times.

hope this helps,

p.s. you should research privacy issues with bluetooth, what the sales rep for the local cell store told me, its a bit unnerving if you care at all about your privacy on the phone.

When I got my last SPV C500 (before giving up on them as a bad job) it had a function to copy all of the contact details from my old Nokia. But could it copy them to another SPV? No...

Shouldn't worry about this in keiths case, it's only ever his mum that texts him or irngs him to make sure he has put clean pants on normally!

Keef, only joking dude, any reel based news?
