> In reply to lyn @ 2012-02-15 14:54 from fuQ0 - click to readBefore you transfer whatever it is u wish to transfer u have to go to the file that u wish to receive first then click options and then click on RECEIVE USING BLUETOOTH u do this on the phone that u wish to receive the information on not the one u sending it from. for example:

If it is a song u go to music then options then receive using bluetooth u click that option then u send the file from the other phone Simultanously.

Ladies, and Gentlemen..presenting the WORST BlackBerry device ever made!

I would STRONGLY advise everyone NOT to get this, as the battery life is the poorest of all the BBs I've used, and in the long term, you can't download a lot of apps as it begins to heat up, and also hangs up frequently. It's a real headache! Go for the new curve 9300 instead for a cheaper price!

love it!!!
almost everything is there.
I'm not into fancy stuff so this mobile gives me full satisfaction.
*works well as a modem
*decent play of audio and video
*nice web browser
*easy email setup
*great smart dialing
*remote stereo gateway
*viewable pdf, excel and word document

this mobile is a bit slow when browsing compare to other latest blackberry handset since it runs with 512MB
