Re: why nothing can be sent except pictures?

Important also to note you can load up an ftp client and just plain old ftp stuff around.

Re: why nothing can be sent except pictures?

As tuxer and bratag have pointed out if you want to send any file you can use Petrovich - it's in the standard extras repository.

Re: why nothing can be sent except pictures?

petrovich is the only app that extending the capability right now.

I use it to send files and anything else

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I would like to inform that video call already works with Gtalk, albeit in a limited form. Read this thread for details.

When we are limited in some way, we usually not only break it, but break it wide open :)

Think about it, would they advertise availability of root and think that leaving out sending files via BT would stop anything at all?

Same thing with the FM receiver. Nokia has plenty of engineers that could make an fm radio app in no time at all, but they release with no fm radio app.

You can video talk with GTalk already and have been able to since the N900 was released.

Re: why nothing can be sent except pictures?

You can use a combination of Petrovich & the Pixelpipe plug-in for Nokia Share to upload basically any type of file to over 100 services or even your personal FTP server

Re: why nothing can be sent except pictures?

İf they add the ''Share'' option to the Media Player I'd already be happy...
