Hi guys,
while waiting for my 6230 to be delivered I've been thinking about the best
way of getting my MP3's on to my phone. I don't particularly like the idea
of having to take my phone apart every time I want to transfer files. Is
anyone here using Bluetooth with their 6230 and if so how is it performing?
Thanks,
Ben

Ah! Now I understand the previous posts that I read. The acronym BT was
confusing the hell out of me. Just realised it means Bluetooth and not the
usual BT. Things suddenly make a lot more sense now
I'm not too worried about speed but out of interest, what kind of difference
are we talking?

I don't have a cable, so my only option to copy files is via bluetooth. A
3.5Mb MP3 file takes ~30 seconds to transfer. BT can be a little unreliable,
but I have only had problems when the phone is a fair distance away
(downstairs) if the phone is next to the computer, works fine.
If you were going have a large memory card and upload different files a lot
then a card writer (or a cable) would probably be the prefered option. If
you are going to transfer file less often, and don't mind waiting for a
while I would try Bluetooth. A BT dongle will let you do things that a
memorycard won't (eg back up the contents of your phone to your PC,
synchronise your contacts, create and maintain playlists on your phone...)
Cheers,
ChrisM.

Re: MMC reader or Bluetooth Dongle?
dont have the figures, but trust me, a LOT.
i estimate a 1meg file would take a good minute via bt, and a couple of
seconds via a card reader.
becomes a real real big problem when you wanna throw whole albums onto your
shiny new 512 meg card...

Re: MMC reader or Bluetooth Dongle?
well, i do not agree with you on bt speed, i do get transfer speeds up
to 5 megs/min. yes, card reader is faster, but i don't like to switch
my phone on and off constantly just to put 2 new songs. btw, i've seen
in stores brand new 1 gig mmc. It's not in sale yet, but salesman told
me it will be around 200 us$... xpensive...

Re: MMC reader or Bluetooth Dongle?
Get both, they're relatively cheap and each have their uses:
BT for backup and modem use, MMC reader to transfer pictures or mp3s either
way in bulk.

Re: MMC reader or Bluetooth Dongle?
still using the 32mb mmc that came with the phone
according to the nokia site, the phone allows up to a 256mb mmc
some people i see are having troubles with mmc's above 256mb unless the
firmware is upgraded?
as for even finding the firmware & doing it myself, hah...the internet
aint exactly getting any better to search for things
i managed to however get a data cable & some decent software to reset my
8250 though
i guess the easiest option is to go into a nokia care center & ask them
to upgrade the firmware, seeing as how im paying insurance every month
on the phone with the contract
