I'm kind of new to this OBEX thing.

I want to know if its possible to use any software that shows the phone/memory card filesystem via OBEX so i can copy files from the phone to the pc without requiring proprietory software or having to send each file one by one from the phone.

I have a Samsung E880 which needs the PC Studio software to transfer the photos I've taken with it, but its quite a pain so I'm looking for an alternative. Also I'd like to preserve the original date and time of taking the picture.

Thanks..

Your Bluetooth USB adaptor should come with a file explorer on the CD, which uses the OBEX ftp and allows you to add or delete multiple items easily.

Did yours not come with that ?

The software that came with my BT dongle was rejected by XP and wouldn't install. XP SP2 only allowed me to transfer 1 file at a time.

Fortunately I found MyPhoneExplorer. It's compatible only though, won't work with a Samsung. MPE is one of the reason's I continue to buy phones.
