Where sent information is saved
When you send information from your phone using Bluetooth, the location where it’s
saved depends on the type of information and the receiving device.

corresponding application on the receiving device. For example, if you send a calendar
event to a compatible phone, the event is shown in that phone’s calendar application.
If you send another file type to a Windows computer, it is normally saved in the
Bluetooth Exchange folder within your personal document folders.
On Windows XP, the path may be: C:\Documents and Settings\[your
username]\My Documents\Bluetooth Exchange
On Windows Vista, the path may be: C:\Users\[your username]\Documents
On Windows 7, the path may be: C:\Users\[your username]\My Documents
\Bluetooth Exchange Folder
If you send a file to another device, the saved location may depend on the file type.

folder named “Images.”
Receiving information using Bluetooth
Your phone is capable of receiving a wide variety of file types with Bluetooth,
including photos, music tracks, and documents such as PDFs.
To receive files using Bluetooth, you need to have a storage card on your phone.
The first time you transfer information between your phone and another device, you
need to enter or confirm a security passcode. After that, your phone and the other
