How to connect my cell phone with bluetooth to my PC?

September 30, 2004 12:48 PM

I've just bought a new cell phone with bluetooth and I want to connect it to my PC. [more inside]

My computer doesn't have bluetooth or IR built in, but there are loads of different USB devices available. However, the range in cost is quite considerable. The cheapest ones cost about £10 on ebay, the ones from phone shops cost about £40.

Anyone got a recommendation?

My system is a PC running XP and my new phone is a SonyEricsson (if that helps).

I bought this one for about $20 US and I have the Sony Ericsson T610. I'm happy with it. When my phone is connected, it's just another drive under "My Computer". You can transfer files back and forth with ease. Great for downloading free ringtones and putting them on the phone, as well as taking pix off the phone and not paying the phone company.

As for software, since it's a SE phone use floAt's Mobile Agent
