k700i connect with pc?

[false_prophet]

hey, i recently got a k700i from abroad and i am now back in scotland now. i am quite new to this so wonder if you guys can help me with a few things.

is it possible for me to connect my k700i with the pc to transfer files (eg videos)? and do i need to purchase any stuff to do it...?

how do i get mp3's onto the phone?

also recieving picture messages... am i able to view it straight off with the phone or do i need to look at them online?

one last thing; what can i do with bluetooth? and is it possible to send files (videos) from my pc to my phone using it?


thanks

for that phone, you should just get a bluetooth adapter. That way you can access the phone wirelessly from your computer. you can swap all the pictures and ringtones that way

just go to a computer store and tell them you need a bluetooth adapter, it should cost between $20-$50. if you have a mac you can do really cool stuff with it, if you have windows you can do less, but it's still a great thing to have

oh yeah, you should be able to transfer video's too... I think that phone has a folder for them, though I don't really know for sure

if you have a mac you can get this program called "Salling Clicker". It does a lot of stuff. You can use the phone as a remote for the computer's DVD player, itunes, I think you can use it as a mouse too. It has a feature were you can make it so your comptuer knows when you come back home (with the bluetooth) and it can open your email, and set to avalible on aim, and start playing music... it's fun stuff

You should be able to 'browse' the phone (If I'm not mistaken) via OBEX file transfer. You can simply drag and drop files into it using a BT USB adapter

On of my teahers had a T610 and a mac and he could controll powerpoint-presentations with it. I guess you can do the same with K700.

I think i'm going to buy a bluetooth adaptor, Is it really that bad if you have windows?
And is there any bluetooth related programes for windows?

can someone recommend me a good bluetooth dongle (adapter thing) for the pc, which is good for the k700i? i am willing to pay up to around £20, although i doubt they are that expensive. so?

thanks

I think there will become more programs that alows you to controll your pc via bluetooth to. Do a search on internet.

d link and belkin both make good adapters. I've seen both in the US for 20 or 30 dollars... which both exchange to under 20 pounds these days.

hi,

i got a bluetooth dongle and connected it to my pc, but my k700i isnt picking it up, and the software that came with the k700i isnt helping. and there wasnt anything else that came with the dongle. can i download software or what do i need to do to make my phone and pc able to send each other files???

thanks

by default you can use the k700 as a remote control for media player, powerpoint and even the mouse for the computer through bluetooth, without using any software (assuming you have bluetooth already running smoothly on the computer that is).

for the k700 and most other SE phones (except the P series) check this great software out: http://fma.sourceforge.net/
