The text of the the posting:

After days trying to establish a connection between my USB Bluetooth dongle and Nokia 7650, at last through perseverance, I have established a connection and can successfully use the full features of Nokia PC Suite. Here's a brief summary on how I done it..... Software spec Windows XP Pro (Without SP1 installed yet) XTNDConnect Blue Manager version 2.0 downloaded from http://www.cyber-blue.com/download/20/XTNDConnectBlueManager.exe Nokia PC Suite Version 1.1.0 downloaded from http://www.nokia.com/cda1/0,1080,2015,00.html Hardware Spec Acer Laptop Cyber-Blue Bluetooth USB device http://www.cyber-blue.com/english/product/blueusb/blueusb.html Remove the Bluetooth USB device Delete all virtual com ports through Control Panel....Phone and modem options....Select Modems Tab......(Be careful not to delete any internal/external modem that you may already have installed) Delete all previously created network connections again through Control Panel.....Network Connections.....(Again...be careful not to delete any DUN or LAN connections that you may already have set up) Uninstall any previous versions of XTNDConnect then you will be asked to reboot... First install version 2.0 of XTNDConnect, and accept all the default settings including the warnings regarding the software not being suitable for XP....Just select Continue Anyway.... You will be asked to reboot Once restarted, insert the Bluetooth USB device and the drivers should be installed....again just accept the defaults and the Continue Anyway on the XPwarnings. Now the Bluetooth Manager has been installed. ------------------------------------------------------ Install the Nokia 7650 PC Suite software from the link above Say no to installing the Nokia 7650 SKD product......accept the defaults and XP Warnings etc.... Reboot ---------------------------------------------------- Establish trust between two devices Enter Nokia 7650 Connection option....set Bluetooth to ON....Select Visibility to 'Shown to all' and leave the Bluetooth name as 'Nokia7650' (Start XTNDConnect and your device should be discovered as Nokia7650) Select refresh on XTNDConnect then back to the Bluetooth Menu on the phone.... Hit joystick to the right and enter the Paired Devices menu....select options....New paired device You will be asked to enter your pairing code on the phone and PC.....hey presto you two devices have been paired. Before proceeding....enter the Bluetooth Pairing menu on the Phone and select your Paired PC name...then Options....select as Authorised. I'm not sure whether this has any impact, but it works on this setting so I aint going to change it!! ----------------------------------------------------------- Check to see what com port has been assigned as 'Serial connection' through Control Panel....Phone and modem options....Select Modems Tab...... In my case it was either Com4 or Com6 Right mouse click the mRouter icon in the system tray and select properties. In the connection Properties make sure that all the boxes have been unchecked then select the Com port assigned to 'Serial Connection'....A window opens within XTNDConnect asking to assign the COM port. You will see if the correct com port has been selected because it will be indicated as a serial connection. (At this point, sometimes the window doesn't appear instantly or sometime not at all, just keep selecting and de-selecting and eventually it should work) Select the Default device connection, then OK....and then you should establish connection..... Finally open Nokia 7650 PC Suite and you should be able to use as normal... Good luck David Rudgley
