What do you all think of the Bluetooth support in the new Windows XP Service Pack 2? I've had trouble trying to send files from my phone to my machine. Whenever I try to send from the phone the bluetooth connection always fails. If anyone knows how to fix please please let me know. Thanks.

Ive succesfully sent to the phone but i cant send to the pc from my T610 so ive stopped using that and use the software and drivers that came with my dongle.

@lynx
thanks for affirming that i wasn't the only one having that problem. i guess i shouldn't have expected much better from microsoft on the initial release  |

And also i couldnt find the cpmputer when i did a search to add devices a few times...its just useless 
Also i couldnt browse my T610 folders on my pc like i can with the software that came with my phone.
Its best not to use Microsoft bluetooth software 
@Burgaz, have you deleted/uninstalled all the microsoft drivers and reinstalled the dongle drivers that came with it?

@burgaz
check this program, it allows you to switch between your original dongle software and the MS software.

Have you guys noticed that there is an option to "recive a file" in the inbuilt program. You must click this in order to transfer files. 
The only downside I've found is that i can't browse the phone from the computer anymore...

I have a similar problem. Half the software says it can't find the phone, yet the other half displays my phone correctly. I can use remote desktop and control my mouse with my phone, yet trying to send a picture to my pc brings up a 'no connection' message. This message appears even though I'm actually using a connection (via remote desktop) to bring up the 'no connection' message.
I've got XP with SP2 |
