What exactly are you doing when you send files from the computer to the phone? The phone should show up in My Computer and allow you to open it just as you would another drive or folder.

right click the file select "send to " and then bluetooth devices . it open a window and i click next and then my phone asks yes or no would you like this file , select yes and it transfers
simple ..

but on the phone i click send a picture with bluetooth and it open up a window for connected devices and there isnt any ..
not sure about this .
maybe the cable wasnt so bad after all :S

Have you checked to see if your PC is set to "Active" because if you have your PC search for devices anything that has bluetooth enabled will come up ie your phone, but for safety most bluetooth pc dongles aren't enabled, you'll need to run "Pairing" on the pc then set your phone to search for bluetooth devices, once the phone see's the pc it should start to sync up.

Switching Bluetooth On

To make it easier for other people to find your device, you can give it a recognisable name they will find when looking for nearby Bluetooth devices. The K800i’s default name is ‘K800i’. To change this:

From the Menu screen, select Settings
Scroll across to the Connectivity tab and select Bluetooth
Scroll down to Phone Name and press select
Enter the new name for your K800i
Once you’ve done this, you can turn Bluetooth on to make you visible to other devices by following these steps:

From the Menu screen, select Settings
Scroll across to the Connectivity tab and select Bluetooth
Select Turn On
To connect your Sony Ericsson K800i to a handsfree device, enter the Bluetooth menu screen and select Handsfree, Your phone will then look for a handsfree device to connect to. When it’s found it, select the device and enter the passcode if required.
