Phone Uploader FAQ
Having problems uploading files to your phone? Need information for writing your own upload utility? I hope that these answers will lead you down the right track. If you have additional information, I would love to hear it -- email me about it (link at bottom of page).
Just so you know, I include questions about uploading files in general to mobilet phones – not just questions that are related directly to the uploader. That way, other people can write programs and set up web sites to give data to any mobile phone easier.
