    Is there a way to connect my N80 to my PC over wifi so I can transfer files between the two?

    I have been able to get it so that I can set up an ad-hoc network between the two (to the extent that they see each other) but I can't figure out how to get files transferred between the two.

    Is there some software needed on either device or is there a specific way to set the connection up?

    Or is it just not possible?

    Hi, have an N80 myself. I think i remember the manual saying you need to set up a media server on your pc first - http://www.simplecenter.com/nokia/ - before you can tranfer files in the normal way. I didn't bother with this, seems like too much hassle, just used bluetooth instead.
    I've seen mention to other apps that do something similar when i searched google but still seems more awkward than bluetooth

    yeah, don't have bluetooth built into the PC but might pick up a cheap adaptor and be done with it - just need an alternative to the cable as it keeps disconnecting and is a pain in the arse some times.

    Definitely for convenience bluetooth is the way to go here - you can pick up a dongle for about €25. I played with mediaserver when I first got my N80 and it was a resource hog. With bluetooth you can just plug in your dongle, issue a voice command to your phone and you are good to go.

    Saw Aldi had one for €10 (a bluetooth dongle) but my local one didn't have one when I checked today... will try again during the week.
