Q. Is it possible to browse the contents of another phone via Bluetooth? My old Samsung could do this. Once paired you would also have the option to browse the files of the phone (images, video and audio).

A. No, this isn't possible with Nokia smartphones, which have a proper operating system. And no Bluetooth profiles that allow this in the first place. Thinking about this from the point of view of security, you needn't worry about leaving Bluetooth turned on - there's absolutely no way anybody could hack into your device.

Your old Samsung probably had a custom Bluetooth application on each phone that worked specifically with other Samsungs.....
