Bluetooth

I saw something of rare and undeniable beauty that wish to share with you all. Unfortunatly I only had my Motorola V500 phone to take the pictures, but all is not lost, I have a bluetooth dongle (belkin) on the laptop.

I cannot get the two to talk to each other, both search at the same time, and neither find any devices!

Any ideas?

Thanks
Mark

You've probqably got a setting on the phone at least, about "visibility", which you need to set as visible (obviously?) in order for the phone to be seen by the lappy.........

some motorolas are only visable for 30 seconds unless being used

cannot find anything about visibility, I keep trying 'find me' in the connection setup menu but to no avail

is your dongle set to send and recieve files? Think its called omex file transfer or something.

I tried this with a cheapie dongle off ebay for days. I gave up eventually and got a TDK one from carphone warehouse which worked straight away.

Don't know if it was the hardware or software that was the problem, but I guess you get what you pay for (as ever)
