yes the BT connection is more stable (at least as far as Internet freezes etc) BUT you have to use the sync station to backup SO i reinstalled the sync station and BANG back to square 1.
I have learned to live with it.

Common problem,
Depends a bit how your pc gives source adresses, i had this problem and i am using a pc with a installed memory card reader, when i connect my K750i to the pc, my pc recognize it as a compact flash card. Sollution, reserve one usb connection and give it a drive path id when your phone is connected (USB 2.0 is hot plugable so don't you worry about a freeze) be sure windows recognize that letter, some tweak programs only show the hardware drives and not the removable drives. Then it's fair when removing your phone you do it with the safely remove hardware but it's not nescessary. Be sure no application is using the phone, before unplugging it. Sometimes it is nescesarry to reinstall the drivers for the memorycard reader. Since I let windows know there was a removable drive and gave it a path ID my problems were solved. It worked for me try it! greetz Empoesa

ok know how to do that but didn't think that was it. A drive letter (c,d,e,f etc) is automatically assigned ONLY when the phone is attached via the ubs/charger cable and it will only use an available letter. As soon as the phone is un-attached the drive then of course disappears so can't see how simply changing the drive letter will correct the freezing problem.
