Sending contact information
---------------------------

You want to send contact information to e.g your PC or another phone via
bluetooth: read on. 

Internally, the phone uses the `vCard format`_, so each contact will be
sent as a `vCard` file.

Sending a single vcard
######################

Go into the contact menu. Select the name contact you want to send, click on it,
then go to `Options -> Send business card -> Via Bluetooth`. The `Send business
card` item is hidden down the long list of options.

Sending several vcards
######################

If, say, you want to send *all* your contact information to your PC, then you are
out of luck: I haven't found how to do it in an automated way. 

That means you will have to send each contact using `the single vcard method`_.

The lack of such an important feature is one of the reasons **I wouldn't
recommend buying this phone**.

Setting the volume
------------------

To raise the volume during a phone call, move up the stick. To lower it move the
stick down.

The lack of volume buttons on the side makes the above procedure annoying, and
is another reason why this phone sucks.
