Bluetooth and old phones (photos)
I have two old Nokia phones (not smartphones). They transfer photos by
blue tooth. (Used only on Windows set up) They have no wire connection
capability.I found:
a) Laptop (Windows  XP Long time ago and Windows  7) to phone works by
Bluetooth.
I have not used on Windows 10 or Linux distros.
b) Phone must be less than ten inches from laptop.
This was critical.
(I know Blue tooth even in old version 'should' work up to ten feet)
c) There was no mention of bluetooth to Linux in phone makers instructions.
d) Only Windows. With download at
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=51237
e) easy to transfer from windows to other computers.
f) But bluetooth should  work.

I have a desktop, a large laptop and a mini laptop. My wife has a large laptop and a mini laptop. They all run with Linux. Neither Windows nor Mac iOS is allowed in this house. So I have to make this work with Linux.
