Another popular choice is to "beam" files via the Infrared Data port. This method is particularly effective for transferring files between two IR-enabled Nokia phones. Since IR communication requires a clear line of sight, first you have to make sure the two devices' IR ports are facing each other and that there is nothing in between them. On the sending device, you can just choose the Send Via infrared menu for the target file; on the receiving device, the IR port must be turned on and the incoming file will be saved into the message Inbox, just as with Bluetooth file transfer.
Using IR to transfer files between a phone and a computer is more complex, since most computers do not come with an IR port. You can buy an add-on IR adapter and plug it into the computer (usually via a USB port). The device driver that comes with the IR port should include a file transfer utility.
