[Mac-talk] Help with cell phone compatibility

[Gautam Godse]

Make sure your Mac has a built in bluetooth module. What Mac do you have 
? if you dont have built in bluetooth, then you can purchase a USB 
bluetooth module very cheaply. I would recommend the Dlink one.
The Krzr should have builtin bluetooth. You can then pair your phone and 
mac using the System Preferences/Bluetooth prefrence pane.
Once they are paired up then you can transfer 
files/addressbooks/pictures etc both ways..
you can find help on the Apple site or just google.
