I recently got a new blackberry 8800 and have been trying to get it to syncronize the data with my Thinkpad T60 (running XP Pro) via bluetooth. Mainly so that I do not have to carry a cable around with me all the time as that really defeats the object of having bluetooth in the first place!

After a lot of stuggles and trying to pair the devices in different ways, I found the following information on the blackberry website. It appears that you cannot use 3rd party bluetooth software such as the thinkpads have. You have to use the default Windows (at least SP2 on XP) bluetooth drivers. How you can easily tell if you are using 3rd party software is if you go viagra per meshkuj to ‘My Computer’ and it says ‘My Bluetooth Places’ then it needs to be uninstalled.  It is recommended that you see your computer’s manufacturers instructions on how to do this properly.

It is a bit of a pain that it does not just work with any 3rd party drivers – but such is life in the windows framework!
