Blackberry Bluetooth

[staceyb]

Now I've followed all the destructions that Blackberry have given me and downloaded a huge PDF off the web and I still can't get the sodding Bluetooth to work on my Blackberry Pearl. So anyone that has one, can you get me a step by step idiot proof way of getting it to work.

Cheers

Bluetooth for what? Car kit or transferring files? Blackberrys of old (certainly up to the 8130v I have) don't have the facility to transfer files (pictures, business cards, whatever) over Bluetooth for security reasons, Bluetooth for car kit use however works fine.

For transferring numbers and other things stored on my old phone. It is possible but according to various people I've talked to there is a certain way of setting up so it will work.

It seems the Pearl does have that feature that mine doesn't

You need to pair the devices first by the looks of it.

Done that, bluetooth enabled and able to be viewed, ie when I scan for other phones it pops up but it just won't connect.

Stacey,

When I had my BB Pearl I seem to remember I had a similar problem.
I *think* I could connect to the Pearl from the other phone (and transfer files) but not the other way round.
Good source of help is:

Nice phone aren't they?
How are you getting on with the 'suretype'? Not being a text person I loved it.

When I got my Pearl I just synced with my Outlook address book.

If you don't use Outlook (or whatever) to hold your contact info already can you not sync your old phone with it, then sync with the BB?
