Nokia 6310i and OBEX

Hello,

I have made a little program to send files to a mobile phone via Infrared
using the OBEX protocol. It works fine for many phones, but I have trouble
with the Nokia 6310i - it keeps giving me an "access denied" error. On the
Nokia 7650 it works fine.
Do I need to change some settings/ an upgrade ?

Thanks for any help !

Michiel.

The Nokia 6310i does only accpet .vcf files (Electronic Business
cards/phone book entries). The Nokia 7650 accepts any type of file.
There is no update for 6310i and I don't think there will ever be one.
The access denied error is just normal OBEX behavior.

Thank you very much for this answer. Do you know of any website where I can
look up the exact OBEX specifications per phone ? Or is there perhaps
another protocol I can use to transfer files to this phone ?
I'm now testing the 6610 and it gives me "Bad Command" (0x40) when I try to
send a file to it. Do you have any clues for this as well ?

a per phone spec. ... no not really ... maybe the product manual has a
list of "supported file types" ... a rule of thumb is:

normal phone (e.g. 6310i) = vcf (phone book), vcal (appointment)
advanced but non symbian nor camera phone = wav / midi / other
ringtones / bmp (backgound image) / sometimes gif
camera phones = jpeg (jpg)
java enabled (SL45i, C55) = jad, jar
smart phone (S55, P800, Nokia7650) = normaly accept all file types
also if no application is install to handle them all

check the OBEX spec. ...

Thanks again ! It turned out the 6610 only accepted vcf files as well so I
guess that's a "normal phone". Do you also know how to programatically
distinguish between these different phone types perhaps (mainly smart
phone/non-smart phone) ? I tried dissecting the COD (as explained in another
post as well), but to no avail.
