@Max-Wedge:

Language evolve. You'll notice the way people talk and or construct their sentences in your great grandfather days, is quite different from now.
People are convenient to shorten sentences hence the message is comprehended. Eg. 'Email me' is shortened and have the same understanding as if you say 'Send me a message via email'
Or 'txt me your number' compared to 'send me your number via txt message'.
Language always keep evolving that how it is.

dude, that is the exact point I was making. You are preaching to the converted.

You should direct your criticism at michael the mage, he is the one who criticised the use of "to bluetooth", not myself. I was arguing aginst his point not for it.

Come on people, get a grip! Who is criticising? It was and is, a statement and also a fact. Nowadays our language is watered down to crap. And the term: to bluetooth is nowhere to find ... yet! And also this has nothing to do with messaging or texting because that are words that describe what you are DOING... not a term or name! Simple as that of you think about it.

As to the point of this thread, with the p990 there is NO WAY to select anything like that, no matter if you send a file via MMS, SMS, email, bluetooth or infrared (infrared it...!), it will go into the UNIFIED INBOX how SE is calling it nowadays! Another crap... not the language but the fact.

I would prefer the ability to select to where the files are sent... phone or memory stick at least! Then the second part of this is the ability to where you can later save it. Even that is restricted now.

Regards

Michael, if you don't wish to use the term "bluetooth" then fine, but it's no fact that english is watered down. This is an opinion by no means a fact. Language has been changing since time immorial, and you yourself don't use language the way your grandfather did. None of us do. We use the language of the day, and when new words come out we use those too.

personally I see no wrong in saying "bluetooth a file" as opposed to send a file by bluetooth". Really it's splitting hairs and a form of elitism to claim that one is more correct than the other. Your grandfather didn't have bluetooth, so there was no term to cover it. It's up to the new generation to create the terms (and their use) for the new technology (btw I'm 39, no spring chicken, and have a very good understanding of English and it's official use but even I accept that new terms arise in the language)

Now, I agree with you there should be a choice about where your bluetooth file gets saved. On the Nokia N70 there is an option in message settings to save the inbox messages on the memory stick. I'm fairly sure the K800 (and probably the P990) has the same option. Have you even looked for that?

In the P990 USER GUIDER, it says: "If another bluetooth device sends a file to your phone, a dialog may appear (operator dependent) with options for accepting or rejecting the file transfer. When the transfer is complete, select the file name and choose where to store the file. If you select save instead you will not get the option to decide where to store the file. You will then have to look under messaging to find it." Now the question remains, will the P990 use the memory stick or file system to cache the file while it is being transferred?

This will only matter if you want to receive files that are larger than available main memory. But I suggest it will be very rare that you will be "bluetoothing" (let alone using IR) messages larger than 10MB or so, so the easy answer is to keep 10MB or more free on main memory (not a bad idea anyway)

So as far as I can see, your complaint is mostly bluster and not really an issue at all?

I know about the unified bloddy inbox (which is exactly what i WANT my bluetooth files to do)

but on my 6680 i could tell it that i wanted messages to use the memory card, not internal memory

thats what i want to do on my m600...it cant be that god damned difficult can it, juct changing ONE LETTER of code

hmm, well it's a disappointment if you can't tell it to save by default to memory card.

Though I still can't see it as a huge issue, the phone has enough onboard memory to accept most files. Anything bluetoothed across isn't going to be so large that it won't fit on internal memory, and once it's in the inbox you are gonna want to copy it to the file structure anyway, so not that difficult to just select the memory stick at that point.

@andrewkeith5:
It's a bit more complicated. What do you do when there is no memory stick inserted? Then the phone would probably crash if you make a change that simple... Bluetooth isn't really meant for file transfers this big... On the other hand, they should be able to reuse the code for saving images from the P990 camera...

it should be easy to make it save to memory stick unless no mem stick is inserted then save to internal. I know I can bluetooth a file to my K750 wether it has a memory stick in it or not, but it saves on memory stick by default.

@max_wedge:
I know, I just had to be a smart ass. What andrew suggested was that it would ALWAYS send it to the memory stick... That wouldn't really work.
