Bluetooth browser?

Oskar_Hanberg · Post by **Oskar_Hanberg** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 10:34 am

I need a freeware not bloated bluetooth file manager to use with my bluetooth dongle to transfer files from and to my cellphone, the inbuilt thing in xp sucks because I can only transfer one file at a time.
The application I got with my dongle sucks because it installs tons of stuff I didn't ask for, and Nokia phone browser sucks because It has plenty of stuff I didn't ask for also.
So all I need is a clean and simple application that lets me brows and transfer files, any help appreciated.

why not try the usb cable? you're not hip to bluetooth, so don't act like it.

spending $70 on something that would transfer the files about 90% slower? no thanks.

The price I don't doubt, a USB cable for my cell phone is $55. So instead I got a bluetooth dongle for some amount which I forget but it was no more than $30.

yeah bluetooth is actually pretty slow. some claim 3Mbps but that's a crock of shit. if I bluetooth an mp3, it takes like 1 minute, meanwhile the usb cable can do it in like 2 seconds.

plus I guarantee you can get the usb cable off ebay for $20 or less.

but I digress, the software you're looking for (or haven't looked for) does sound cool. I have used the one in windows and it's aight. I'm sure there's other stuff out there that does better. google?

$70 for a USB cable? Fuck, you can find the ones with the mini-USB plug for like $5.

I don't think it'd work in his phone (but it'll work on mine teeheehee.)

Newsflash: bluetooth is just a wireless serial modem protocol. It has the same limitations that RS232 serial has.

I've got a Nokia 6111 so there's nothing to do other than accepting I'm stuck with blue tooth. even the "pirate" cables won't sell for less than $40 or so. I think the speed is ok. Its betweek 68-80kbps or so. but again the issue is that I want to be able to transfer multiple files and not having to send one at a time.
