BTW, in 2007HE I couldn't figure out how to access my PC from the 770. In File Manager it doesn't list the 'phone' device selected, unlike the 2006 OS. And in 2007HE in Control Panel it wouldn't let me select the PC BT as the 'phone', again unlike 2006 OS. Yes, the PC BT name shows up in the Control Panel->Bluetooth along with my celll phone, but how to make the PC show up in the File Manager?
I think a DUN thing "allow" one to pair with the 770 by selecting an "allow" service, which allows one to pair with the 770, o/w "no allowable service, pairing fail" something like that. I was NOT able to pair my PC with 2006OS, could you be kind enough to list your installed software on your 2006OS, and I will then try?

Here are my installed sw on 770/2006OS:

becomeroot_______0.1-2
btxfer____________0.1-1
canola____________1.01-1indt8
flite______________1.3
gizmo-project______3.1.0.76
gnumeric__________1.7.0-1indt3
gpe-calendar,contacts,filemanager,icons,timesheet,todo
leafpad____________0.89-2indt1
lib.......................
maemo-bt-plugin___0.6.1-1
maemo-mapper____1.3.5
maemo-periodic____1.0-1
mediacenter_______1.5
mediastreamer_____1.2-12
minimo___________0.20.1
mplayer__________1.0rc1-mamo.18n770
openssh-client
openssh-server
osso-xterm
proj
python2.5-runtime
vncviewer
xournal

I just tired, I cannot make the PC to show up in the file manager either.

To access the PC from the 770/2007He or the other way round, at least for the purpose of file transfer, once one initiated the transfer, the other end will respond automatically. On the PC, click the file>send to BT>hi lite 770 (searching....), your 770 should respond automatically; or vice versa. Of course, one has enable both the 770 or the PC discoverable.
