As far as I know, Verizon doesn't let you transfer any objects over bluetooth besides microsoft business cards or whatever they're called.

Verizon has crippled the bluetooth on just about every phone the have that does have BT on it. There is no way to receive music files, etc. from other Verizon or non Verizon bluetooth phones....sorry.

As for the problem with some songs not showing. Make sure there isn't any foreign characters in the song title, also make sure that the song title doesn't have over 12 character names.

Example:

thisisovertwelvecharacters.mp3 <---that is over twelve as they are all touching, and therefore the phone won't recognize it.

this is over twelve characters.mp3 <----- same title, but with spaces, not one word is the twelve limit rule.

Thanks for that tip. That would have saved me much grief in my past!

Has anyone tried bitpim and directly transfering to the filesystem? I know that on my vx8500 i can see the entire filesystem.. there are many interseting directories on there and bitpim has the option to upload files.

yes, you can use bitpim to transfer just about anything to the phone. I have moved a lot of items to and from the phone in this matter.

So in that respect... you can manually use Bluetooth with bitpim to transfer files directly to the phone... I used bitpim over BT yesterday and was able to view the filesystem on my vx8500.
