How do I establish a connection between my T68i and my laptop running Windows XP with a 3COM PCMCIA Wireless Bluetooth card? When the PC searches for devices, it finds the T68i but then how do I actually pair them and/or establish a connection so that I can go about doing things like SMS, Ringtones, Logos and whatever else through Bluetooth as opposed to conventional IRDA?
Also, when the phone is found by the PC, sometimes when I refresh it may still be found and other times it might be gone, although it would still be discoverable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to paired devices under the bluetooth menu in the phone and select add device, you will be prompted for a passkey, type in any four digit number, I just used 0000, then xp should tell you that the device is trying to pair, it did for me, then enter the same passkey and that should be it, all paired up. Hope it works for you. I'm using a TDK USB dongle with no problems

Is it possible to have two paired PCs for one t68? I can only have one paired, when I add the second one then the first one is removed.

As long as they're using different bluetooth adaptors, mutiple PC parings are fine. If you're carrying the 3com adaptor from pc to pc, the phone should percieve them as the same machine - parings are done based on the BT's MAC address. This shouldn't be a problem for general data transfers, but I don't know what happens if you try to sync with multiple pc's this way...
