Overview

Motorola Bluetooth is a program developed by Motorola. The most used version is 3.0.02.285, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The main program executable is obexsrv.exe. The software installer includes 28 files and is usually about 135.84 MB (142,435,913 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows 7.
