Getting "data type invalid" - never got this working yet. On these sort of colour Nokias where you can select wallpapers, etc, can you not just send standard jpegs/gifs (from my pc - the infrared connection is correctly established)- my phone says in the manuals it can recieve via a pc (but does not explicitly state images are accepted)
Does the image have to be a certain size, or have Nokia done it so you cannot send files of this type.
searched the net and am having no joy ...
Any one here messed around with sending pics to their phone (apart from via pay sites like club nokia)
NB have been trying to send small files (eg 3kb) of the various - so called accepted formats
Is a 5100 ...

nope a 5100 and I've found out how to get images onto it now
(doesn't accept standard image files) - you can download Nokia pc suite free of Nokia's site
