    Hi.

    I was playing with my T610 and another older BlueTooth phone the other
    day, and when I tried to send a picture to the T610, the T610 asked me
    first whether I wanted to accept it. Can I set it so that it just accepts
    it? I mean if the T610 is in my pocket and someone sends something and
    I don't notice the phone beep or whatever, it will time out and send
    a rejection to the remote phone and not accept the data.

    If I send a pic from the T610 to my other phone, the other phone just
    accepts it, no questions asked.

    TIA.

    That's dangerous, and thus not a good idea.

    That is not an answer to the question I asked. It is just a comment.

    Can the phone be so configured?

    No. (Anyway I can't see how to do it, else I wouldn't be asking.)

    I want my phone to do it. My other phone does. Besides, it wouldn't
    be so much different to getting the confirmation question, and pressing
    "Yes" to accept whatever it was. You wouldn't know until you received it
    what exactly was in it anyway. So there's very little extra security to be
    gained from having the confirmation question come up anyway.

    Only if you're reckless.

    You must be able to do it as I might know of a friend of a friend who
    has allegedly blue jacked loads of them.
