If he's using a Mac, then it's most definitely not painful, hence my
post.

Actually, you say that - is there a way to do it wirelessly/bluetoothable?

Yes - Bluetooth, you can browse most phones from the Mac.

Or just send via Bluetooth from the phone.

Ah, OK. Is there a guide somewhere - blowed if I can figure it out, and
seems I''m not alone:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11556431&#11556431

It's good to know I can browse my iPhone from my Mac, though. If someone
could just let me know how!

Again, I just don't see it - I have email/MMS options only.

Thanks, Rob

It does depend on the phone's capabilities, and with the iPhone you
can't. Thank you mister Jobs.

Annoying? Yes, very. It's presumably due to having to pretend that the
iPhone doesn't have files.

This may change in OS4, if the "file area" concept stays in.

Cheers - Jaimie
