Has anyone had any experiance with bluetooth i am trying to get my laptop to function with my nokia 6310i but have had no look the software that came with the phone the connection manager has three options com irda bluetooth
but when you press bluetooth menue and apply another menue says select bluetooth serial port which has com port 1 to 13 then press on connect you get device fail now why would you want to use a com port when they are usb devices i havent seen a bluetooth serial unit. Help!!!!

Re: Bluetooth
 

The COM port is a virtual com port via Bluetooth (Ie. an access port to your phone) now the bad news, there's a problem with the nokia software and 6310's and bluetooth especially when using a Micro$oft driver. Have a look on nokias support/forums for ideas. Never got mine working correctly either (same kit), my laptop will connect fine to my PDA (IPAQ) and my IPAQ connects fine to the phone!!!

Most bluetooth software packages create virtual com ports. Check the device manager you may find you have a string of them. You do need to make sure that you have set up a pairing between the phone and the pc or they wont talk to each other.

The blue tooth software will normaly let you map a particular phone service to a port.

I can't connet my 6600 with the Nokia software, use the Belkin software that came with my dongle and it works a treat.

Look on www.dabs.com for blue tooth dongles. I had a pair for £50 a while back from BluTek I think.
Had no problems with my 6310i once I found out what the blutek software had set the bluetooth virtual com port to.
