Is it possible to use T68i as a portable memory? I was thinking, perhaps you could rename a file to .jpg and have it saved in My Pictures. Would it work? What happens by the way if you send another file to the phone? Does it refuse it? |

Sorry Elite. I could not understand exactly what you are trying to ask. If you are wondering that changing names of pics under My Pictures would be possible; then yes you can rename the pictures and send them to different phones as normal and it works perfectly fine. |

Well, if you didn't understand, i'll give an example.
If I want to transport a file, for example a . txt file, I use some kind of disc (1.44 probably). My question is if it is possible to use the T68i instead of a disc. Since phone doesn't store .txt files, would it store the file if I renamed it to .gif, so that I could carry the file betwwen two computers? |

Yes, that works perfectly. I just made a zip file containing 3 gifs, renamed the .zip to .jpg and sent it to the phone by using IR. Phone accepted and saved. In "My Pictures" in the phone the file is shown as a big red X because the phone can't understand the format.
You can also send the file back to the computer using IR, Bluetooth or e-mail. Just remember to rename the file back to it's original when downloaded to the pc and it should work perfectly.
I just tested using T68i R2F004 and a MA-620 IR adapter.

hehe....that's way cool  ....so do you think it can also handle ms word files or an entire program maybe? hmm....too bad we're only limited to a 1MB+ space...then again...that's about the size of a 1.44 diskette...cool!

It can handle any kind of file as long as it's rename to something the phone can handle (preferably gif I think). The Word file "document.doc" must be renamed to "document.gif" before it's sent to the phone and renamed from "document.gif" to "document.doc" when it's sent back to the computer.

Yes, I was playing around with this before a while ago, I just didn't know what to put on it, hehe.
Although, zipping pictures an putting them on the phone seems like a good idea. Does it actually reduce the file size? Considering jpeg is already compressed. |

You can do it in many ways..in programs like a Photoshop,ACDsee..If you want to save for example your word document in t68 just change extension .doc to .gif or .jpg in explorator,windowscommander or something like these..

Zipping a BMP would greatly reduce the size, a GIF somewhat less so, and a JPG would probably be the same or even get a little bit bigger... I wonder though if the phone would really accept a single file of almost one megabyte! What size files have you guys tried this technique with?

I tried with 200kb or so. Didn't have any more free memory or would have tested.

That's very cool. I also use a laptop with IR and (soon) BT. Now I wish this very connected phone had another menu option called "My files" and a LOT more memory! Listen up,  , I know the P800 will do this but the P800 won't fit in my pocket!

How can this be done using bluetooth and which usb adapter would be best for it? I was thinking about the 3com one.
thanks |
