Dunno if its already been posted but here is a tutorial of how to access files on your C905 using your wifi connection.

Step 1.
Menu>Settings>Conectivity>Network sharing.
Configure settings like this: (Just choose a random username+pass (my one is A for both))
UPDATE:
On the new firmware, it seems this menu has been changed to just have an on/off option. Make sure its on!
New window
Click to expand / contract

(note: If you changed the default workgroup when you ran the set up home or office network wizard then use that)

Step 2.
Menu>Settings>Conectivity>Wifi
Scroll down to your wifi network and press options
Then scroll to edit settings like so:
New window
Click to expand / contract

Click on edit settings and scroll to Network Sharing
Make sure it is on
New window
Click to expand / contract


Step 3.
In windows explorer type \\C905 in the address bar (Or enter the phone name that you set in the conectivity menu
(You may have to enter username+password, if so then enter the ones you used in step 1)
New window
Click to expand / contract

Enjoy! No wires, and no bluetooth so it works on desktops!

You know, if you set up your router to allow port 80 connections, you could type into a webbrowser anywhere in the world http://[your ip]/C905. I think, I'm not to sure since the telecom firmware on my router stops me from port forwarding.

Sometimes you need to restart your pc/phone/router the first time.
