1. Don't know. Maybe the TomTom cannot receive files by Bluetooth?
2. Have a look at my list of Third-Party Applications in the sticky topics at the top of the index.

it can .. you have to go into settings and push recieve file then send from phone ..

it was a .3gp file i searched the whole unit via system and manual .. i did get a message saying " not compatable format" but still said sent, unless after message the unit deletes file ..
i only really want to find it and delete anyway .. just not to fill the internal mem up etc ..

will have a look at them 3rd party programs also thanks .. may add as well if i find any Smile

The device does support OBEX file transfer, it is easy to fire files between two TomTom devices such as POI files etc but sending files from another source other than a TomTom doesn't seem too easy - Mike

I have only managed to send photos and mp3 between my phone (Nokia N95 and others) and my TT520

MP3s are sent to the default mp3 folder on your device and photos go to the photos folder.

Any other file type that was not recognised was just not stored

not recognised = just what i was thinking .. so if you get the unit to recognised the file format i.e using one of above 3rd party programs it should store?
