I think it doesn't support bluetooth transfer for files etc. I can pair but can't transfer. Any solution to this? I just gifted it to my relative, hope i have not wasted money. Any other known issue with this?

Thanks

didnt knew that people still use bluetooth for file transfer. if bluetooth file was a deal breaker no one would have got an iphone.

more over you should have done proper research before buying the phone.

Windows Phone Apollo (Q4 2012 or Q1 2013) may bring Bluetooth file transfer but you never know. most sites say even Apollo won't bring any support for transferring files through Bluetooth.

yes, Zune is same as iTunes.

not possible. no third party app can do this for you. i guess this is disabled at the OS level.

Why do apple and MS disable file transfer through bluetooth?
I know one guy who ditched his iphone for a galaxy S2 just because its lack of bluetooth file transfer support
