My employer just go several of us onto a new provider, Rogers, and therefore a new mobile phone. We got a Samsung Corby SGH-T566. Not a smart-phone, but actually quite a nice device, works really well. Unfortunately we don’t get a data plan from our employer so I can only use the phone and SMS features, though it has quite comprehensive support for many web-based applications.
One of the things it does very well is take good pictures and record audio. But how to get those to a PC? Took me quite a while to get this to work:
On my Windows XP SP3 laptop, I don’t have builtin bluetooth; I have a USB Bluetooth antenna which works well, but the only option I could find when right-clicking on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray, was “Receive a file…”. Once I turned on Bluetooth on my Corby, I was able to pair the phone and the PC, so I tried the “receive a file”. I worked: once clicked, the PC was in “wait” mode; as soon as I clicked on a photo on the phone and clicked on “send via bluetooth”, it would get sent to PC. Not bad: I could send one file at a time. But not great either: I already had 20 files to send, I needed mass transfer!!
I looked for a while for a program to connect to the Corby. I found PC Studio v3 on the Net but once installed, it could not detect my phone (which is crazy because the bare bluetooth radio had even been paired with it!). Tried changing various settings in phone, on PC related to bluetooth, nothing helped. I eventually found out that you’re supposed to use New PC Studio, available on the Samsung website. Now transfers work great!
I have not tried using the USB cable, as I get the impression that it is more difficult to use. Such as, your phone’s bluetooth must be off in order to connect to the PC’s USB.

When I tried again recently, my laptop could connect to phone but New PC Studio would stall on “Identifying Device”, ending with an error message that device was not in intialized state. I switched the PC connection mode in Corby phone from “PC Studio” to “Mass Storage” and back to “PC Studio” and rebooted, and then it worked (tried a bunch of other things but rebooting was the only thing that did it). I also made sure the Bluetooth was off initially on phone and that the phone was not in Bluetooth dialog list (ie not paired to PC to make sure the built-in Bluetooth app didn’t grab it), however I think the important step was to reboot the phone in PC Connection = PC Studio mode (it was already in that mode initially so not sure what went wrong).
