In an effort to make a new "Sony" Ericsson ATT T68i phone communicate via bluetooth with a new "Sony" Vaio laptop (equipped with internal Bluetooth) we did the following.

1. Placed 7 bluetooth devices from different manufactures near the new "Sony" vaio and powered them up. One of the devices was the T68i and one was the SonyEricsson bluetooth headset.
2. Placed the T68i in the "discoverable" mode
3. Asked the Sony laptop (XP Pro) to display any available bluetooth signals.

The laptop "discovered" each of the available bluetooth signals and indicated their presence along with signal identification WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SONY ERICSSON ATT products (phone and headset).

4. Placed the "Sony" T68i in the discover mode and asked it to discover any signals. It only found the "Sony" Ericsson headset.

Does anyone know if Sony/Ericsson/Att have decided to make the T68i bluetooth connection proprietary? Has anyone been able to make a Sony SRX series laptop with internal bluetooth recognize the T68i?

Have done it on a Toshiba laptop with inbuilt bluetooth module.

The T68i Bluetooth is not proprietary. In fact Ericsson was the inventor of bluetooth.

I've seen the Sony Vaio (with internal bluetooth) work very nicely with the T68i.

Not sure about the Vaio, but was able to pair the T68i with my IBM ThinkPad A31p (built-in Bluetooth). Now only if someone can tell me how to hook up the HBH-30 to my laptop so i can use it to listen to music? I was able to get the laptop to pair with the headset, but it appears that there's no "mono audio" services available. Any ideas?
