guys, i'm thinking of switching to SIII because of unresolved issue with Nokia Care for the phone.
but before that, i would like to ask here, who knows u guys might know sumthing Nokia guys don't.
(sorry if it already asked before, the post is too much for me to read 1 by 1 and i'm running out of time, since there is a limited time offer for SIII)
1. file transfer via bluetooth; esp. the pictures taken by lumia 800, how to bluetooth to a person next to you using SII? Nokia guys said that i have to skydrive it first then let the receiver donlod it back. that's twice the job. they said this is because they want to avoid phone user from getting a virus via bluetooth transferring.
2. contacts synching without duplicating existing; i have 2 phone, 1 is Nokia E63 n since its qwerty type where i used for sms'ing. i oso always update my biz contact there, a dozen per week, bcoz easier to type (esp. while driving
). the problem is when i want to update my contact in L800. i cant simply transfer contact because it will duplicate all my existing contact. is there a synching solution to let lumia update my contact rather than transfer.
3. email file attachment; i press attach but i can't find my excel file. all it shows is from my images folder. how to select my excel file to attach? and why is it when i forward an email with an attachment, my partner doesn't receive the attachment file? only the email.
tq in advance.
update: solved the first part of the 3rd issue.

Yes, he did.
FAZZ

Shiela
May I know what are the email address that you have set up on your Lumia 800?
FAZZ
for main use of L800, i'm using hotmail.com
FAZZ
the email i'm using to attach file is both yahoo.com and hotmail.com
Shiela
I see. Thank you for that information.
FAZZ
on pressing the attach link, it shows me all file in my images folder, but i want to attach my excel file.
Shiela
Okay. Thank you for clarifying that one.
Shiela
Intead of going to the Hotmail or Yahoo!, kindly go to Office.
Shiela
Then, slide it to the left to see the excel.
FAZZ
then click share?
Shiela
Tap on it and tap the ellipsis (3 dots) and click on share.
Shiela
That is how you can attach documents.
FAZZ
already tried that 1 but it did not attached my file, instead it points to a link in docs.live.net
FAZZ
oh, sorry..that's because my file on live
FAZZ
the 1 on the phone works
FAZZ
thanks
Shiela
I see. That is great!
Shiela
Is there anything else that I can assist you with?
FAZZ
but then why is the mail with an attachment doesn't sent the attachment together when i forwarded the email?
FAZZ
i've send twice the email with an attachment that i received from a friend to my partner, but the email my partner received is just an empty email without the attachment.
Shiela
Okay. Let me verify this one. One moment, please.
Shiela
Thank you for waiting.
Shiela
If it's okay with you, I'm going to replicate your concern first on our end and after that I'm going to call you back. Would that be okay with you?
FAZZ

Would that be okay with you?
FAZZ
it would be okay if the time is right
Shiela

FAZZ

I'll call you then at 6pm today.
FAZZ

Shiela
Okay. What is your email address?
FAZZ
blocked
Shiela
Thank you.
FAZZ
for the 1st 2 of my concerns, do i have to wait for a firmware upgrade?
FAZZ
the bluetooth transfer and contacts synching
Shiela
With regards to transferring of files via Bluetooth, upon verifying it and by design, all Windows Phones doesn't have the said feature.
Shiela
The only way to share it is to send it via email.
FAZZ
so, there'll be no firmware update for it then..
FAZZ
synching issue?
Shiela
I'm sorry to say, but there is no software update for it.
Shiela
For your second concern, may I know how you sync your contacts?
Shiela
Is it coming from a Microsoft Outlook?
FAZZ
at first i use the transfer contact. but i always do the update on my contacts in my Nokia E63
FAZZ
i can't use transfer again because it will duplicate my other contact
Shiela
I see. Thank you for the clarification.
FAZZ
i got at the very least a dozen contact per week
FAZZ
either add new contact or information update
Shiela
Okay. May I know if these contacts are also saved in your Hotmail and/or other accounts?
FAZZ
i heard that it saved on my hotmail account as well right so ye..but the update in E63 is just a normal symbian contacts file
FAZZ
so it is not updated online
Shiela
If you do not want to have your contacts duplicate, I would suggest you to update it on your Hotmail account. So, whenever your device is online or connected to internet, it will be fetch or sync the updated contacts.
FAZZ
but i type in the update on my E63, no internet connection for that phone
FAZZ
and how to update contact in hotmail using symbian?
Shiela
Your Nokia Lumia 800 has this feature but your Nokia E63 doesn't support it.
FAZZ
yes,now all my latest data on contacts is and always in E63
FAZZ
since it's qwerty, easier to type in time contraint condition
Shiela
If you want, I would suggest you to sync your contacts from your Nokia E63 to your Outlook.
Shiela
This is by using the Nokia Suite.
Shiela
Then, once your contacts are in the Outlook, you can sync it to your Nokia Lumia 800.
Shiela
You can use this link for the instructions on how you can sync contacts from Outlook,

Shiela
Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003
FAZZ
is there any free outlook?
FAZZ
i dont have licence for outlook because never used it
Shiela
You may contact Microsoft regarding that matter.
FAZZ
ok, i'll try it first..i have to sign out now
Shiela
Okay. If you have further inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us back.
FAZZ

FAZZ
