Today the mail man brought me a Prodige Bluetooth dongle.<\/p>\n

I used to connect my phone to the computer via a data cable (CA-53) but I’ve used it quite a lot (plug in, plug out, plug in, plug out…) so it stopped working: PC Suite couldn’t use the connection unless I was squeezing the cable and the phone together at a correct angle (which is quite impractical because I need my hands to operate the computer).<\/p>\n

I had bought an infrared device for my previous phone and it works nicely with N73, too, but it’s quite slow. When I was installing an application, I didn’t realise it was doing anything because it took such a long time transferring the installation files to the phone…<\/p>\n

Now I have a nice, quick Bluetooth connection; although, I don’t know yet if it’s quick because I haven’t tried installing or transferring anything. Before I got it working, I had to install the driver (1.6.1.4 — an old driver I think, because the IVT BlueSoleil site<\/a> offers 2.3) that PC Suite requires. I don’t know if Suite would support a newer version but I’d hope so.<\/p>\n

Now, all I need to do is find a new application or finish converting an X-Files episode on the Video Manager<\/a> to test if this 2-3 Mbps (max.) transfer speed is as fast as it sounds.<\/p>\n

\nAlas, phone updates cannot be done over Bluetooth. So, if I want to update my phone (which I do, some day), I need to take it to the Nokia store.
