I think it will come only if MS decides to bring this feature to WP. Search this forum there are links where you can vote for it.

Actually, it *might* be possible to implement it using homebrew - there are standard WinCE APIs for BlueTooth. If they are available on WP7 as well as WinMo and Windows Embedded, and aren't security-restricted, then it could be done.

I'd volunteer to take a look but I'm working hard on something else (and far more promising, IMO).

Would be great if you tried once. What are you working on right now?
btw, your OEM marketplace xaps were great. Keep up the good work

Right now, I'm working on the HtcRoot project, and various offshoots of it. Essentially, I want to add the advantages of a custom ROM into stock ROMs and, where possible, without forcing people to reset their phones. Part of this process involves writing tools for my own use, some of which I also publish. For example, the HtcRoot Webserver has essentially replaced TouchXplorer for me, though TX used to be a standard part of my toolset.

Considering the existence of the Contacts Transfer app in the Nokia store, which uses Bluetooth to transfer contacts from other phones and appears to run on non-Nokia phones (yep, I used my own OEM Marketplace XAPs to get it), I'm pretty sure at least some level of access to Bluetooth is possible from a WP7 app (using native code, of course).

Wow, that's a thrilling news

I'm not sure if you know but there are a lot of users who badly need this.

yes, lot of people miss sending the files via Bluetooth,
So if you can add it as first priority it will be very helpfull
for all of us "geegs" which want to use WP7 platform
as geeg platform.

Will you be able to convert Junos Pulse client for winmo
to convert WP7 to run it in native mode?

Thanks for info.

Yes, you are right. The Contacts Transfer App is proof that transfer via bluetooth could be possible. And yes, I installed the Contacts Transfer app using your app
