Hello folks,
I am now lookung for a way to sync my IPAQ H2210 with my second PC without carrying the cradle between houses. Now this has led me to the question of whether it is worth getting a Bluetooth dongle for the second PC which could also talk directly with my Z600 or whether I should just get a retractable sync cable for the IPAQ and continue to transfer themes, midi files etc from the PDA to the Z600 via the BT file transfer facility.

I have also just upgraded from a T68i to a Z600 but I remember when I was considering getting a BT dongle for use with the T68i that it was quite akward with regard to which dongles it would work properly with. Is this also the case for the Z600. Also are there any actual benefits with being able to talk directly with the PC which cannot be achieved via the Pocket PC.

Cheers,

Morpheus

For the first question, I would recommend that a sync and charge cable would be a good option as they are fairly cheap and can charge your ipaq from virtually any pc (which has a USB port) and is what I carry with me when I travel rather than the bulky cradle.

Thanks,

I've been thinking more along these lines myself in the last few days as I am struggling to think of any real advantages to a direct connection and at present I still end up lugging the charger with me when I head over to the house with my second PC.
