Hi

Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with Bluetooth functionality after the recent updates from Apple. I am having intermittent problems "Bluetooth not available" and some system flakiness and wondering whether it is related to the updates or perhaps some other hardware problem with this MacBook.

Thanks

Adam

No problems here. I've just taken delivery of a nice new Sony Ericsson W850i Walkman Phone. Bluetooth connection works flawlessly (with all the recent updates installed). The one minor problem was that iSync didn't have a plugin for the W850i, but I found one at www.feisar.com (for the princely sum $3.50) so now I have everything working. Whatever problems you''re having, I don't think it's on the Mac side.

BTW - out of curiosity I installed the software on Windows-only CD which came with the phone into my copy of Windows running under Parallels. Took a little under an hour after all the starts, re- starts and mis-starts. I have yet to get the Windows stuff to connect to the phone properly, even through the supplied USB cable. It does connect, but only partially: and boy, is the software ugly!
