Help needed with bluetooth please

I have just got a new phone ( well 2nd hand from ebay!) Nokia 6230i.

If I do a video and send it via bluetooth to my husband he can view it and send it back to me and I can look at it again, BUT
If he does a video on his samsung d600 and sends it to me via bluetooth, my phone says it has received and processed the files and asks me where I want them, It doesn't matter where I send them, when I press to play them, the phone goes straight to operation failed.
I can't watch any video he sends me except the ones I took in the first place

Does anyone have any idea whats going on LOL

    What type of video files does your huband's phone capture... Nokias will only play - .3gp mp4 and real media files.

    hmmm... the site says it's mpeg 4, which the 6230i site says it accepts.

    Get your hubby to try decreasing the qulaity of the videos on his phone, and see if that works.

    We took a video on "economy" setting, suppose that meant not as good quality but my phone still won't play the ones he's sent me!!
    Any more ideas to try Please
