I am confused about what a bluetooth adapter is and what a usb cable is. Which one will work better to transfer files to the v551 ? Please let me know . Also, where do i buy the sotware that will let me choose pieces of my own mp3 files to send to my phone. Thanxx..

Bluetooth is a short range (30 ft. or so) wireless interface standard that allows you to connect devices. May PDAs and some PCs have the BT radio built in. If your PC doesn't, there are many different USB bluetooth adapters on the market. When you install the adapter - they generally look like a very short USB drive - and the bluetooth software, you can do a whole range of things on your PC without wires - connect a bluetooth mouse, sync a bluetooth PDA, print to a bluetooth printer, transfer data, etc. So, installing this in your PC will allow you to send contacts and appointments to your phone individually (or do syncronization if you get Motorola's Phone Tools) - without having to carry around a USB cable.

Bluetooth is not difficult to get working. It's difficult when it comes to Windows OS, which is no big surprise, what's not difficult about Windows OS? It's so inferior.

With Mac OS, you open your already built in Bluetooth pref., hit Find and it searches for any Bluetooth devices, when it finds yours, you hit Pair Devices, it pairs them, you're done. Simple as that.

With Windows, you have to get programs, do this, do that, and it still wont work. Windows wasn't designed to be user friendly, it was adesigned to be the very thing that causes a pain in the users ass. 🤣
