I know this Q should go in a different section, but I thought some of the computer experts might have some idea about my question.
I would like to know why in some phones Bluetooth allows one to transfer almost any file (.exe, .jar, .mp3, .jpg, etc) and on some phones it is limited to just images and music & video files (.jpg, .mp3, .3gp, etc). I have seen these differing capabilities in, for example:
Nokia E90 - Anything can be transferred over BT.
Nokia 5310 - Only jpgs, mp3s, 3gps and similar files.
Why can't a Nokia 5310 transfer .jar or .exe files? I'm planning to buy a new phone, so I would like to know beforehand which mobiles support full fledged BT transferring; so how do I go about differentiating between such phones.
I know there are different BT profiles like A2DP, HID and many more. I think, to allow free transfer of files between mobiles a mobile needs the FTP profile; and both the Nokia phones I mentioned above have this profile as can be seen from the following links, so why the difference in fully free file transferring capabilities?
5310 BT profiles under Connectivity - http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/5310_XpressMusic/
E90 BT profiles under Connectivity - http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/E90_Communicator/
How do I come to know that a mobile phone which I will buy has full fledged file transferring through Bluetooth? Is there some other BT profile that has to be checked?
Thank you for reading my question.

Might be because certain phones doesnt need the certain files / doesnt understan them.
Also, the bluetooth-protocol may differ in phones so its not same.
