    I have a samsung D900 and I get my photos onto the laptop using the Samsung photostudio disc that came with my phone. I don't use bluetooth just plug in the USB cable from the phone to the PC

    if you are using the windows built in software, right click on the bluetooth icon near the clock (notification area) and select receive a file. a new window should pop up saying 'waiting for a connection from another computer or device to connect' and then it should send

    You need to enable your laptop to allow to receive files from your phone even though your bluetooth is active.

    You should be able to do this by right clicking the bluetooth icon in your toolbar.

    Hope that makes sense

    I have a D900, And with my Windows Laptop BT just crashes when I connected it with the Sammy.

    My only solution I can think of is:
    Get a Mac :D
    My Sammy works beautifully with it!
