I had an mp4 movie bluetoothed from an N8 to my N95, obviously I cannot play the format on my phone, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to pull it onto my computer.

Because it's a bluetooth message as opposed to an sms, it doesn't show up in the PC Suite message centre, and because I can't open it, I can't actually save it to anywhere else, or edit the name etc.

Thoughts? And I've never been able bluetooth data directly to my laptop but just got it through PC Suite or the data cable.

This is a wild guess, but might work. I would imagine that the video file has been saved somewhere on your N95, perhaps the video folder. Use file manager to have a look to see if you can find it. It might then be worth connecting the N95 to your PC in Mass storage mode and then copying the video from the place it is stored on the N95 to your PC.

The problem is, it isn't saved in any of the accessible file folders. It's only in the original bluetooth message. Which I've not been able to find using a file manager.
Because I can't open it, I don't get the option to save it somewhere else!

Are you able to forward the bluetooth message like you can with an SMS message? How about sending it to your email address? It might work.
