Yes, we can send/receive files via bluetooth. To receive files, go to tools menu, select bluetooth and turn on, then you can receive files. To send one is simpler, select the files, choose send, by bluetooth. It will take a while to find the receiver device and often gives you a password for the receiver to open the file/s. I think it's some protection for virus etc.

      Just got one lastnite, too early to judge the whole details. So far got no complain at all, all features work perfect, good quality of pics and sound. NO PROBLEM on the battery, i charged lastnite, took a lot of pics, several videos, some calls in and out, and FM Radio almost all time, still 2 bars now after 24 hours. This cellphone is cool...

              It is such a lovely slider phone. My set did comes with chinese characters and chinese support as well. The screen is amazing.

                      Ugly.. heavy.. really bad battery life. Certainly when it comes to specs, the CL71 is a pretty poor handset. Perhap's it'll be more impressive when you actually use it.. but I doubt it.

                        hmmm NO LG "Chocolate" looks neat and clean..its different. I wish they make a GSM version and release it.

                            Correction, the C81 is by Siemens and the P51 is by BenQ.

                            The reason you have two separate design teams is because all these phones were already in advanced development stages when BenQ took control last September. So there hasn't been enough time to consolidate their design teams properly yet.

                              Hey thanks...now I can see it clearly.

                              P51, EL71, CF61, EF81 and S68 are siemens desings...nice and sleek.

                              CL71, C81, E61, EF91, S81, EF51, S88 are BenQ designs with their Nokia style buttons and ugly red-orange interface.

                              Damn! man they should let the siemens design team take the lead.

                                The reason there are differences in the keys is that the EL71 was developed by Siemens and the CL71 was developed by BenQ. Which will also explain the slightly different user interfaces.

                                  Lets not get into that argument. Yes siemens started slider. We all know that. Using the same form factor does not considered copying anymore. Then one might all the flip phones are copy of motorola.

                                  I meant to say the design.. the look. Siemens never used those "talk"/"endcall" inocs before. Those are typical Nokia. Thats why it looks very much like Nokia 6280. Check it side by side. They didnt use the square 4-way nevigation key. Interestingly they used it in EL71 but changed the icons.
                                  But anyways I liked both the designs.

                                    Siemens was the first to introduce slider phones in the world. It was many years ago. Its name was SL10.
                                    So Nokia is playing around with Siemens slider designs..

                                      Nice phone..looks too much like Nokia sliders though..especially the keys on the front.They simply played around with nokia slider designs and came out with nice models. Cool.
