mobile phone help please

 right then, 2 queries : -

1) My cousin bluetoothed me a video clip (non-porn related obviously) that is coming through on my 2 and a quarter year old sony ericsson walkman (think its an w810i or something like that) as an mp4 file so I can hear it but cant see the footage. However, when I send it on via bluetooth to other phones they get to see the vid (other than in my mothers case as you will see in point 2 below) why?? and will I need to get a new phone in order to view the clip?!?!

2) I then bluetoothed the clip to my mum(surely proving it wasn't filth?!) but her fancy new samsung SGH-L810V although being able to receive the file, when I went to play it comes up with 'unsupported resolution'. Phoned vodafone about an hour ago and they weren't much help.

other than taking both phones into a shop tomorrow, I thought you techy guys on this forum would love the opportunity to help me out....

Download that and convert the file. Works for me.

In answer to the first question, Bluetooth is just a way of copying the file between phones. Think of it a bit like copying a Microsoft Word file from a disk to your computer, it doesn't work because Word isn't installed on your computer, so you copy it to another disk and give it to someone else with a better computer that does have Word installed. It works

i.e. All you are doing is copying a file from one phone to another. Not changing it in any way.
