N95 8GB question

[surfguy17]

hey i was just wondering i heard that with this phone it takes a long time to transfer things back and forth from the phone to the computer like songs/audio/video etc is this true?

That depends on what connection you're using man. Bluetooth won't doo any good if you want fast and reliable connection but if you're using usb cable it's pretty fast. I mean if you want to download a 1 or more GB file onto or from your phone it will take some time... But music or pictures aren't big in size. It'll take about one minute for you to transfer a song with 5MB size.

I agree.What he said above!!

I think 5Mb will take 10 seconds

using usb to transfer one song will take a few seconds,
I often use bluetooth to transfer single file from pc to phone because of convenient

i had one more question what is that barcode scanner thing for on the phone?

[andrew89]

Barcode scanner... Had it on my phone. Useless thing))) Claimed to read the barcodes on the products, but it never did. I tried all the angles and still nothing. And most of all i even don't get what is the use of this program.

[ninjabear]

lol same.I used it on my n82

Don't forget the barcode scanner doesn't read barcodes like you'd find on products in shops. It reads 2d barcodes.

[surfguy17]

so its useless in other words? and what items would have 2D barcodes on them?

Almost useless. I've never seen a 2d barcode in print, but you get them on a few websites and there was a music video a while ago that had them in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode

Codes are being used more and more i.e. in magazines to get more info about an article, or in estate agents for more info on properties etc. Admittedly they are few and far between in the public eye but there is potential for them to be useful if more widely adopted...

o ok
