Backing up data from Nokia to Laptop via USB bluetooth dongle

tonymahoney

Hi all
I recently bought a USB bluetooth dongle on ebay. It works as I managed after some difficulty to pair the devices so as they recognise each other. I have a Nokia 6310i and loaded the software suite that comes with phone but was unable to use this via bluetooth. Is there any free software available on the net that is easy to use (I still am waering my "L" plates when it comes to this technology stuff) that will allow me freely export my phonebook from 6310ito my PC as a backup but more importantly that I can type in a whole load of addresses and phone numbers and export to phone book.

Thanks!

Please specify your OS (And what BT stack/drivers you're using)

In general, make sure that both devices bluetooth settings have "discoverable" on.
On the computer side of it, you must have an application to use bluetooth, once this is open choose the option to search for devices.

When the device is visible in my case I had to right click on it and search for services.
Then I ran the file sending service and a new window opened that I could drap / drop into the phone.

I use windows XP home edition and am a novice at this stuff {learning fast though}. Is it possible to transfer phonebook data between laptop and phone using bluetooth dongle and relevant software. Don't think i have bluetooth built into my laptop. What free software is ther to allow me do this?
