Combining Nokia 6260 with Dongle
Hi,
I pocess a Nokia 6260 with Bluetooth 1.1. I started taking pictures and videos and soon enough my memory along with the MMC filled up. Then I was gifted a Bluetooth USB Dongle. It's probably Hongkong-made, though there's no name of manufacturers. The phrase Make Life Freedom was written, so I googled for that and found a few pages selling Dongles with that name but no official sites.
After plugging in the tablet, WinXP(without any SPs) prompted that a new hardware had been found. I inserted the driver CD coming with the oroduct(which by the way was smaller than half the radius of a normal compact disc) and WinXP started searching. It found two drivers that were identical in their descriptions and asked me to choose one.
One had 98 as a suffix while the other did not. I chose the 98-less one. WinXP said that though the drivers were installed, there were problems and the device might not work properly. At this stage my phone does not recognise that there are any bluetooth devices activated.
I then run the Setup.exe in the CD and it installed a software called IVT BlueSoleil. Before installing this, Device Manager showed that the drivers for the device named "Bluetooth Device" were not installed. But after installation was complete and my machine restarted, device manager was showing the device to be working properly!
Using the BlueSoleil software I did push a picture from my phone to my computer, but I'm not satisfied with the way this software works. Pretty difficult interface. And It's an Evaluation version that allows only % MB of Data Transfer so after reaching the limit I'll probabaly be prompted to buy the software.If I exited the software a message appeared in the system tray saying a network cable was unplugged.
I attempted to install Nokia PC Suite from the CD that came with my phone but two times in a row after reaching the end of the installation the installation caused an error and rolled back.
Is there any way I can use Nokia PC Suite with this Dongle to access my phones file-system from my computer and do other things? Or is the functionality of the dongle itself tied with that of BlueSoleil?
Please help me to properly integrate my Bluetooth USB Dongle with my Nokia 6260 and Nokia PC Suite.
Thanks in advance.
