Who of you ppl out there have been able to compare the differences between a USB cable and a bluetooth connection between your PC and your P800 and wishes to clarify this to me?

Is there really no one who has experimented with this?

I'm still trying to get Bluetooth working with my Windows XP box and D-Link (DWB-120M) dongle. I've got the drivers loaded, but when I try to connect over Bluetooth Serial port via the Bluetooth software, I accept on the phone and the computer says I've been rejected. Puzzling.

I can get it to connect on the Mac fairly easily, but to just share files - nothing else.

Ok, so I magically got it to work in Windows XP, with Caveats:

My dongle set up Virtual Serial Ports like COM5 - COM15 <ugh>. I paired up COM7 to my phone, all went well. I also added a OBEX Forced Upload thing, too, or some such. Anyway, I set the Phone Listener to COM7, and nothing happened. I then set tried to connect the phone using the Bluetooth Neighborhood thing to the COM7 I had set up, and it connected, disconnected, reported an error, but appeared (on the phone) to be connected. Then, on a hunch, I set the Phone Listener to COM8, and all of a sudden it started syncing.

<Ugh> Mac's bluetooth stack might be primitive, but it ain't this painful.

Also, if you pull out the dongle, you need to reboot to get it working again.
