Without the use of any illegal applications en cheats this is possible,
I agree this is a ridicules solution and need to be improved, only with a register tweak you can increase the search time for example.
For any developer reading this, plz make something nice of the bluetooth manager.
PLZZZZ do so. :cry:

But coming back to your problem:

To send a file go to your bluetooth manager, (right down under) in your today screen.
make sure you're bluetooth is enabled.
Pair the device, usually create a "OBEX file transfer' between the devices.
Once you are on the system, usually a /storagecard you see in the menu left down a option; send file.
click, you are allowed to send 1 thing at the time this way.
So hopefully someone is able to improve this to a single click way to do it.

So many clicks it lacks the fun of it.

It's even more simple than that, all you have to do is upgrade your bluetooth to the 3900 build wich can be found on the ftp site. than all you need do is tap and hold the item you want to send and the message will appear 'send via bluetooth'

my older phones (k700i, nokia 6600, p910i) didnt ask to pair with any device it just askd the user to click, accept or decline.

grrr why do i have to pair with everything grrrrrrrrrrrrr

it shouldn't ask you to pair, it doesnt on mine, the other day i bluejacked my mate with pics and it worked fine, make sure you have the latest radio and bluetooth build and there shouldn't be a problem

If you got the link below you will end up at the site that i started with...

It explains how to flash your rom, how to find the best rom update, if need be go to the biginners link towards the top of the page.

You should find everything you need to know here:
