Microformats to Bluetooth

I've modified the Mac only bluetooth user script for operator to work on windows. It's based on this script, and originally inspired by Johns hack of Tails.

It requires the Widcomm bluetooth drivers (they're the most common, if you have c:\Program Files\WIDCOMM then you should be good to go).

Download it

I've tested it successfully on my Win XP machine to a Nokia 6230 and a Qtek S200 Win Mobile phone (aka SPV M600). It sends contacts and events, though events didn't work on my Nokia.

I don't have much available for testing it so I'm relying on some detailed feedback. I may not be able to fix it for you though!

A friend tested it on a newer Nokia, it received the file but failed to recognise it as a vcard to import. I've yet to find a way to use the bluetooth business card service, so I'm sending it just as a file transfer and relying on the device importing it. It'll probably require an XPCOM to use the Widcomm API, but this script should work as well as it's Mac counterpart.
