Sending pictures from a t68 to a pc with the msi bt key doesn't work. But Nokia has made a sw that makes it work excellent on the 7650 :-) Hope SE will make a sw like that too... This post was posted from a T68i

The 7650 uses the "File Transfer Profile" which was not meant for mobile phones. It was meant for PC/Laptops. Object Push is a similar profile with less functionallity.
Both "File Transfer" and "Object Push" are profiles which has a server and a client part. This is just like a web-server. The client is the one which request things (the one on which the user selects to transfer files), while the server is more passive, and doesn't need to have a UI (though it can have allow/deny and security dialogs). The server could of course just be another mobile phone.
In general the initiator is always the client.
So when we select a files on the phone, and select "send" using Bluetooth, we are the client. The other part becomes the server.

Object Push Profile has 3 funtions:
1 - "Object Push" - Send a object to a "The Inbox" of a "server"
2 - "Business Card Pull" - Request a Business Card from a "server"
3 - "Business Card Exchange" - Send card, then request one.

Only the Object Push functionality is mandatory, and only vCard 2.1 format support is mandatory in general (If the device has a calender, vCalender is mandatory as wel, etc.).

File Transfer has 5 functions:
1 - "Navigate folders" and view their contents (Browse)
2 - "Pull Object" from current folder
3 - "Push Object" to current folder
4 - "Delete Object"
5 - "Create Folder"

Browsing and File Push/Pull is mandatory. Folder push/pull is optional, as is 4 and 5.

I don't think the T68i implements folders, which is probably why it does not use File Transfer Server. It wouldn't be impossible (just having one root folder should be allowed), just not very logic.
There is of couse no reason it couldn't have a File Transfer Client. But it requires a UI, so it takes time to do

The Nokia 7650 implements File Transfer Server... But not the client, so access/transfers should be initiated from the PC.
When browsing the 7650 from the PC, how does it look? Does it have folders? Can you create folders? Just curious
Of couse the server is probably simpler to implement, because it does not entail an userinterface.

So I guess that the problem with file transfer from T68i to PC, is that WIDCOMM software refuses to receive a Pushed object of an unknown type. Which is actually OK by the Object Push Profile. Its just rather irritating...

No, you can't create folders in the 7650 from the pc. Not that I know, might be some java app that makes it work though.
I use the pc suite for 7650, which has a picture transfer ability, both from and to the 7650 on ir or bt.
