Transfer files from PC to Vogue via Bluetooth

Any way to do this? I'd love to be able to transfer files like mp3 from my laptop to my Vogue via bluetooth. I tried using the send file function (i'm on vista)

But it says:
"This Bluetooth device or computer cannot process files of this type."

When I try to transfer an mp3.

Any ideas?

You need to establish a bluetooth connection between your vogue and your PC then if you set up an ftp connection you can use it to transfer any files between the two. My ActiveSync quit working a few months back and this is how I get everything onto my Vogue unless it is really big in which case I take the MicrosSD card out and connect it via a usb adapter to my computer and move the files that way which is faster.

What about any other file type, are you able to send pictures and documents?

how do you setup the ftp connection? they are already paired as usb devices. I don't have activesync installed as i HATE it

Yes, I want to know too. My samsung Katana DLX was easier to get files on and off of via bluetooth...

Once you pair activesync (via bluetooth), you should be able to open up explorer and view the files (on the pc). From there, treat your phone like a normal folder and copy files to and from the phone like normal (as you would with something like a thumbdrive, harddrive, etc etc).

Are you having a problem with ActiveSync pairing?

You're running Vista, activesync wont work. You need to have WMDC.

Ahhh, that's my problem. I don't have a syncing relationship established with the phone and computer - was trying to do it without that. I always hated activesync so I didn't try it in Vista, but I think maybe wmdc isn't so intrusive in that it's not running all the time like activesync.

How are the bluetooth file transfer speeds compared to USB? Can you copy from the computer direct to the MicroSD Card?

Thanks guys!
