I stumbled accross this and thought I would share it here
I had read many times that Microsoft's new BT adapter that comes with the BT keyboard and mouse only supports 3 profiles (none of which allow the interface to be used for syncing your phone and outlook's address books).
Below of is excerpt from:
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2002/nov02/11-12wirelessbluetooth.asp
"PressPass: How does Microsoft support Bluetooth in Windows XP?
Foley: Currently, Windows is supporting three Bluetooth profiles. If you’re not familiar with profiles, they are rules outlined by the SIG for device behavior. Profiles are how you can tell what scenarios each device will enable, and which Bluetooth devices will be operable with others. Windows currently supports Hard Copy Cable Replacement, Dial-Up Networking and Human Input Devices. This enables wireless printing to a Bluetooth printer, access to the Internet anywhere using a Bluetooth cell phone as a modem and using Bluetooth mice and keyboards for additional functionality and range. We will continue to add profiles to this list as we hear from consumers what scenarios they would like made possible."
Now we need to figure out how to accelerate MS's support of additional BT profiles

Gavin
