XDA mini S Bluetooth Help Please

Hi folks,

Just got my new XDA mini S and have been playing with the bluetooth as I used to use it a lot between my old nokia 6680 and HP ipaq rx3175 and PC.
I seem to have a problem with accessing the bluetooth services on the XDA however. I am able to send data to my new mini S via bluetooth- though finding an option to send from it seems no existant.
For example on the Mini I can get an option to beam, SMS or email data from my contacts list, though there is no option to send out by bluetooth.
I have paired all devices and they all know each other exist! Plus Bluetooth is turned on, there must be something I am missing?
Are there any decent programs that will allow easy file transfer via bluetooth?

Any ideas welcome,
Thanks,

Heretik.

Great forum here by the way

I used to have the same problems with my XDA, then someone suggested turning 'Beam' on as well. Hey presto, everything worked fine.

Thanks for the welcome

Yep that does seem to have resolved it; I would have thought to send a file via bluetooth it would give you the specific option- though it uses "beam file" as the command which I belived to be just for the infared, so partly my short sitedness, though something wasnt hooking up before either, but all's workin fine now, so sorted .

Cheers,

The XDA is one awsome piece of kit!
