Blackberry sync using bluetooth - ugh!

[(RIP) Bin Ridin]

Hi,
Got given a Blackberry 8900. Like the feel of it but the sync with Outlook by bluetooth seems clunky and I cannot find a way to transfer photos to the computer without usb lead.
My E71 syncs and transfers files by bluetooth in a jiffy.
Is it me or is the BB a bit home-made?

I have the same problem but I have found it easy to take the memory card out and plug it in to the LapTop

The memory card is feckin tiny, I have a usb gadget to plug it into but still a pain.

Bluetooth connectivity is one of the few BB weaknesses....it seems to work in a different way from most phones and can be a right PITA even between two BB devices

I just plug mine into the USB lead and synch from that. (Bold 9000)

Not perfect, but the rest of the phone more than makes up for it

I used the software from Mark Space which synced everything with my Bold via bluetooth whenever I was near my computer. I was using a Mac though, not sure if they have a version for Windows. I think the software provided by RIM is pretty poor and there are probably better third party apps out there, at a cost of course!

That markspace.com stuff looks cool, I will delve deeper into finding something from 3rd party for pc. I was ok until I started using the bluetooth for syncing the e71, very reluctant to go back to wires!
