the range is like only 1.5 to 2 feet... is that the case with everyone?
trial version can be d/l from their site

I also tested and got a range of less than a feet. These phones do not have commercial IR, it is only IrDA, which is for data transfer over very short ranges.

well i have range of 4/ 5 feet on my tv depends on the receiver of the tv you use it on

so i guess they are not very usefull applicaitons!
glad i found out before i bought it coz its pretty expensive for a remote application!

Basicly it�s a briliant app, I think, but the short range is really bad.... 😞

I got ranges around one meter... (about 3, I quess)

There isn�t any possibility to boost the IR Signal, is there?

I could quite easily reach from one end of my classroom to the other end-about 5 meters i think, although i'm not sure. Definitely not less than that though. Such a good joke though-the teacher was going crazy when the vcr started ejecting the video , saying it wasn't her fault and she didn't press anything!Great for jokes. I don't think you'll be able to boost the signal with signal, i'd have thought you'd need a hardware update and i don't see why nokia would bother to do so. One last question, will the bluetooth remote control car by sony work on 3650 or n-gage?
