...seem to be limited to the amount of free memory you've got left on your phone. Is this right? Is there any way to get the phone to save bluetoothed stuff to the SD card?

Yes, it's true that OBEX transfered files (IR and Bluetooth) are saved in the internal memory (c:\system\temp\ir to be precise). These paths are hardcoded in the phone ROM. I've tried to change them with a hex editor, and putting the modified files in the corresponding place on my SD card, but unfortunately there are files on Z: that override them.

There are of course ways of transering files over BT that doesn't use OBEX, such as the Motorola Desktopsuite and p3nfsd, which is a nfs server and client for Symbian and Linux.
