As topic... is there a way to do that?

I don't think so... guess it's impossible! But, I recall in some other post reading something about that (or similar), so I rather ask!

What I want to do is to browse, maybe a "shared" folder on my PC or something via the phone...

Wow... just writing it makes me realize the level of "impossibleness" it is!

Thanks

Well, I have a BT dongle!

How do you do it? I tried going to "My Devices", in the phone, under "Bluetooth", but I can't "browse" the computer from there.

How do you do it?

@Dan
You mean like you could on the K700? I don't think the K750/W800 support that feature... Atleast I haven't found any way to do it either...

Yes, you could do that on K700, but the feature to browse content of other bluetooth devices on the phone, has been disabled for security reasons (bluesnarfing) in K750/W800 and possibly also future bluetooth enabled phones from S//E.

Oh... how beautiful!

It's great that, as it might impose a security threat, they just disable it!

Damn it!
