    I don't think the G1 supports file transfer by bluetooth yet.
  • If the phone has root access you can install an app called bluex it does what most other phone do as a matter of course ie bluetooth

  • Just remembered that if you install bluex i think you can receive files but not send them that is if you don't have root access and both ways if you do have root

    Both ways without root

  • Thank-you all for responding. Not quite sure what bluex is, lol, but we shall investigate and see if we can sort it;). I guess we must be able to download it via the phone.

    Thanks again

    BlueX needs root access, and the odds of the phone having that are very very slim.
