        Sending/recieving via bluetooth
        You first need to go to bluetooth options, and add the other device. Once the 2 phones are paired, go to Media/menu/recieve using BT to recieve. To send, go to the file, press menu/send via bt and select the paired device.
        I hate this about blackberry phones, but at least they do it for "security" reasons. Its complicated but I live with it :)

          I have the same problem as Josh. I also can't transfer files via Bluetooth. Why is that and how do we make it work?

          Thanks in advance.

              blackberrian, 18 Feb 2010to all, plz..i had enough reading all the sh*t about this ... moreHi
              While I agree for the most part, you must remember though, this is the internet. And lots of immature, irresponsible and disrespectful people go on the web every day and there's nothing you can do. Especially on open sites like this. Freedom of speech. But you, my friend, must be careful with your language. I've seen your posts get deleted because you use curse word and that is against the rules on the forums. Don't take things too personal because almost every day you'll run into someone trying to say something to cause discussions and what-not.

                      Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Dont generalize the word 'plastic toy'.... Its a review n they review that the front side of the gemini just like a plastic toy (which is should not be cz its a BB). Please stop arguing bout things that not really important, oh y, forcing or mentioning other type phone really often on other section was a serious bad action(more if u r using bad words :p).... Then if u were reviewing ppl then GSM Arena not a good place to do.

                            these are the words from the reviewers at gsm arena


                            "The all-plastic construction is ok, but the plastic used on the front looks quite cheap. It attracts smudges, stains, and makes the device look like a Chinese toy designed for four-year olds. Not good at all".


                            i totally agree with them.

                                    blackberry prestigious?

                                    i don't think so, the 8520 is £150 on pay as you go/ sim free, its cheap, and if it was prestigious then why are kids from the age of 12 years old using them, anyone can buy this phone, its not for elite executives, dont make me laugh.

                                        Thanks guys for all your comments. I am buying the original BB from Dubai. I was getting used BB phone but I was unsure as you said. I believe New product is the best product. The main reason of buying this phone is the BIS. I am not in the office alot so I would like the BB to help me keep in touch.
                                        Thanks once again for all your positive responses and I have ordered BB 8520. I will get it very soon... I am excited just like a baby getting a new toy :)
