Transfer of contact via Bluetooth "business card"
Is there a way to send a contact business card to my BlackBerry Bold via bluetooth (from another device)? This seems to be a basic feature in most bluetooth enabled phones and it was a breeze doing it between my Sony Ericsson phone and my Nokia phone.
Somehow I can't find this feature at all in my BlackBerry device....

Have you tried just sending from the other device and seeing if the Bold will accept it?
Don't forget you have to set the Bold to "receive mode" .. It's not actually called that, but that's what I'm describing it as since I can't remember what it really is. Btw, welcome to EB.

Hi, thanks for the welcome message.
Yes, I've tried to send and receive, pair and set the device to "listen" to no avail. I don't think it's possible to exchange business card contacts with the BB which is a big shame and quite ironic since it's a business class phone. Oh well...

Is this in a VCF format?
Not sure if this will work, but try: Select the Media icon > BB Menu key > Receive via Bluetooth. Make sure you know where it is being saved. Open the VCF file received and you should (hopefully) get a prompt to add to contacts. Please let us know if it works for you and if not where it fails....

So there is a way afterall, but it would have been ideal if it was a little more obvious rather than being tucked away under "media". Thanks stevetaz

I'm guessing you happened to be browsing another site and caught the same post?
