More Bluetooth Madness

Arne Hess has just received a new laptop that includes Bluetooth. Being a mobile devices nut, his goal was to allow synchronization with his various devices to his laptop.
"Companies like Sony do their own stuff just to protect their product range? As you remember I bought a new Notebook which also includes Bluetooth now. One reason to buy a Notebook with Bluetooth was - for sure - to use Bluetooth with other devices (at least that's what Bluetooth was created for - isn't it Mr. Sony ) While my Notebook works as a beauty to make a GPRS dial-up connection through my PPCW.Net i-Mate Smartphone2 (aka Orange SPV E200/HTC Voyager) this Bluetooth Sony software on the Notebook doesn't want to work as a serial connection with ActiveSync. While I first thought I'm to dumb, a Google search offered me some hints and the most important result is I'm not alone."
Come on people! These various profiles in Bluetooth are going to be its undoing. You can't do serial with this device, and that device has no headset profile, and the device over there can't see the bluetooth keyboard, and these two won't talk to each other for who knows what reason. :evil: There is additional info at InfoSync.
