    If the phone shows up under Internet Explorer then you should be able to drag the file off your phone and put it on your computer. If not then there is probably special software you need that would come with a data link cable for that phone.

    The phone can only transfer files that are displayed in the Media Center folders, and only if they are of a type that the Media Center recognizes (essentially just JPG, MP3, GIF, 3GP, AMR, AU, and a few other types). There is no FULL OBEX implementation, and so other phones cannot browse the i880 via Bluetooth. All that’s supported is what’s known as OBEX PUSH.

    The Bluetooth is really there to support headsets, though sadly the i880 does not support the A2DP stereo profile, and you can’t play MP3 files through a Bluetooth device unless those files are encoded at 8 kilobits (a far cry from the 128 to 320 kilobits used in MP3 music).

    Memory Expansion: To support the memory-hungry MP3s and photographs, the i880 includes memory expansion via a MicroSD card. The i880 will support up to 2 GB (whereas the i580 had trouble with the 2 GB cards and wouldn’t read all of the memory on them). To put files on or off the card, you can do it one of two ways. First, you can remove the card from the phone and plug it into a reader on your computer. Secondly, you can use a data cable and access the card via USB Mass Storage. Unfortunately the USB implementation in the i880 is only version 1.1, and thus file transfers are a little slow. This is at least an improvement over the i580, which did not offer the USB Mass Storage option.

    So if the movie file doesn't show up in the phones media centre you can't transfer it. If you have an external memory card in the file and the file is on it then you could get an external memory card reader for your computer and probably transfer it off that way, but no guarantees.
