Hi. I just bought that Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse combo, which came w/the Microsoft Transciever, for the sole purpose of sending images from my XP system to my phone. I got the Keyboard & Mouse working okay, but my Ericsson T68i won't show up in Image Editor.
Here's a summary of what I've installed:
Service Pack 4
Image Editor

I use the Wireless Link in Control Panel and set my phone to discoverable, and they find each other just fine. I can pair the PC & Phone, and it shows up under Linked Devices as "Phone".
In Control Panel/Ericsson Mobile Modem Settings/ and Phone Monitor Options, my phone doesn't show up at all.
From Start/Programs/Ericsson/Phone Settings, the program launches, but it doesn't find my phone. I read a post similar to mine, and it says I need to open up com ports. Currently, (thru Control Panel/Phone Monitor Options/in the com ports tab) it only lists Com 1 & 3 and both are enabled. The post also says to install my Bluetooth Software, though I'm not sure if there's some sort of special software I need to install in order to "create virtual ports".

I'm new to the Bluetooth thing, and I'm broke now, so I'd really like to get this working.
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.

You should have done some searching here on esato before buying that Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard.
I've read that it doesn't work to send pics, synchronize etc with t68i since Microsoft hasn't implemented the Bluetooth profiles for that: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=15539&forum=12#post200781

If you want Bluetooth enabled things to "talk" to eachother they must use the same profile.

Thanks for the reply.
I would have done some research on the product, but considering it was Microsoft and the Cingular guy at Best Buy claimed everything would work, I just decided to get the product. The box also shows the T68i on it!
Here's a similar post to mine, and there was no clear answer given:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=14193&forum=18#post178963
The first reply advises to change the com ports, but on Phone Monitor Options, it only shows Com 1&3.
Do you guys think I should keep the product? The mouse/keyboard work fine, but it sucks it doesn't work w/the phone.

Thanks for the reply. Which drivers do you refer to?
Do you have a specific name?


Thanks again,

Perhaps you can use the Float Mobile Agent.
It's a great tool and discussed here:
Mobile Agent, software for sms and Phone Monitoring

I know its a huge thread but I remember that somewhere Microsoft Bluetooth support was discussed.

The reason it doesn't work is because the bluetooth software from microsoft doesn't have the appropriate services set up such as "serial port over bluetooth" emulator. Normally bluetooth software installs ports such as this. You can try (really unsure if it will work, but might be worth a shot) to install the bluetooth software from TDK or Billionton (v 1.3.2.7) + use the microsoft driver for the dongle itself. (It will ask you for the driver after the bluetooth software is installed).
Good Luck

Thanks a lot guys.
I'll give it a shot.
I can't believe how ridiculous Microsoft is.
I'll let you know either way.
