The procedure I use is tap on the Bluetooth Icon - bottom right of today screen and turn Bluetooth On I then tap the icon again and select Bluetooth Manager, I then double tap the shortcut I have set up. So that is 5 taps to do an ActiveSync over bluetooth - is there a simpler way? Martin

I assume you'd still have to turn the Bluetooth radio on, but would this eliminate the Bluetooth Manager step? Go to Tools/Options in ActiveSync on the Pocket PC. This shows up on my h5455 upgraded to Windows Mobile 2003. __________________ Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.

Without this set, I don't think Activesync on the Pocket PC will recognize the connection and actually synchronize. __________________ /drt
