Getting Files To and From PEBL on OS X: Bluetooth
Others may have not had the difficulty I had with getting files from the PEBL onto their Mac, but for some reason I assumed their weren’t many options. Besides the obvious iSync capabilities that synchronize you contacts and calendar events, OS X has Bluetooth File Exchange under the Utilities list. Bluetooth File Exchange lets you ‘Browse Device” as well as simply Send File. Assuming your phone is already configured from within System Preferences, once you launch Bluetooth File Exchange you’ll need to switch the Device Type to Phones. Find your phone in the list, then select Browse.
The Motorola PEBL provides three preloaded directories for storing personal files. Those are audio, picture, and video. These are self explanatory and actually quite boring. I’m assuming this is to protect the file system that is on the phone.
One thing I can’t seem to find is an easy way to send files from phone to phone without using Multimedia messaging.
