Does Bluetooth just not perform reliably in this role? I just bought my wife a Blackjack II which has WM6 installed, and put in a good deal of reading trying to set up Activesync. I've used Bluetooth many times for mice, keyboards, hands free ear pieces, but this is my first real attempt at setting up Activesync for wireless syncing. I start out by pairing the devices (no problems there), then assigning an incoming COM port. Then in Activesync I set it to communicate via that COM port. Now, on the phone in the Services screen Activesync will appear as being available on the PC and I select it. I can sync to my heart's content. Restart the phone and it doesn't work anymore. The Bluetooth applet still shows the phone, but doesn't show it as connected (yes BT is on). I have to start over, and make repeated attempts to get it to work again. Is this just typical with BT and Smartphones? The PC is a Dell Centrino with factory internal BT.
I have an MS BT USB dongle I will try tonight, but I'm thinking it shouldn't matter. My wife's mouse works reliably. -- Mike Gill ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
