saving 'large' bluetooth file in n73 — Nokia N71, Nokia N73 and Nokia N75

i have an n73 with 2GB minisd card. my phones internal memory is something around 40MB.

i can send any sized file i want using bluetooth, i tested it by sending a 90MB file from minisd.

the problem is when receiving files over bluetooth. the files come in as messages and reside in the message inbox folder.

i like to keep my messages on the phone using the phone memory, so that i dont loose messages when swapping memory cards. so the message folder is limited to approx. 40MB. so i'm unable to receive any file bigger than 40MB via 'BLUETOOTH'

i can solve this problem by using the memory card for messaging(which i dont wanna do).
the other way is moving the BLUETOOTH files to memory card after receiving(that limits the received file to less than 40MB)

so, is there any way that i can keep using phone memory for messaging, but any files received via bluetooth will go to the memory card straight away, instead of going through the phone memory???

cheers.......

Can't you just change the message storage location to memory card for the duration of the file transfer, then change it back?

Or use a data cable? Or a card reader?
I wouldn't fancy sitting round waiting for a 90 meg bluetooth transfer!
5 minutes for an album of music tracks is long enough.

1. i did change over the locations before, but it seems like a hassle, so i'm looking for a permanent solution

2. using data cable/card reader outside my home is not a viable option 99% of times.

3. time is not a problem when there's no other way but bluetooth to transfer something
