i got the bluetooth too, sold it nex day though, it is very troublesome, i spend 6 hours trying to connect my phone and it never worked out, it finds the connection and thats pretty much it, never goes any further... could not do anthing, transfer files, upload nor download... with IrDA you just plug it into the usb and you don't even need any software, it just works... much better device, but this is my personal prefference and that's much easier for me, i am not speaking for everyone....

You must have had bad luck or a lousy Bluetooth adapter. My Bleutooth was just plug'n'play. Plug it in install the software, set the phone to discoverable, search for the phone, pair the devices. And now they are always paired and everything works perfect sending files surfing the internet, sync'ing the calender. I haven't had a singel problem. Just click on synchronize and it syncs the phone even if it is in another room of my apartement. Bluetooth workes so perfect and it's even better than I thought it would be...

I have the Bluetake BT007 Bluetooth adapter. It works great and have a 100m range (not together with the phones though). I
ve had no problems at all. The computer can connect with the T68 in all of my appartement, even on my balcony

yup... you are right i guess i had a shitty bt adapter, would not pair with my phone, everytime i tried it would just not establish a bond, i mean the phone showed that it was paired with the bt and the bt showed the same thing, but as soon as i start transfer of the item it'll say pairing lost or whatever, so no lcuk for me with bt, but infrared is enough for all i do, i don't sync neither do i surf the net on it, i just custumize my phone thruough it... anyway i need my irda for teh 7210 i also have, it does not have bt so, there is the main reason of me chosing irda over bt

Sure IR is ok. I use IR between my Palm and my T68. But I would love to have bluetooth on the palm. But my palm is too old for that

But in my experience BT actually works better, with less hassle compared to IR. But maybe I was just lucky that got it working right away.
