Just wondering he is using Desktop Manager 5/6 and using Windows 7, 32Bit/64Bit??

BLUETOOTH Driver Fix Windows 7 64-bit and Blackberry DTM

Manually load the extra two PORTS by choosing from a list of drivers.

Find the 2 problem drivers-missing entries in your Bluetooth devices list, right click on the first one, choose UPDATE DRIVER SOFTWARE. Then choose Browse My Computer, then Lets Pick From a List of Device Drivers. Scroll down till you see PORTS, then choose Rim Virtual Serial Port v2 and click Apply.

You'll get a warning message from windows 7, ignore this choose OK or apply and load the driver. It will report the device is set up correctly.

REPEAT this process 1 more time for the 2nd problem child bluetooth device that is missing the driver.

Then pair up your Blackberry with your laptop. Don't forget to REMOVE your laptop or PC from the blackberry list of paired bluetooth devices and then pair it all over again now that you've fixed the drivers on the pc/laptop side of things in Windows 7 by adding those two ports that were missing (assuming you're upgrading to Windows 7 and having problems where you can't sync with Outlook and your Blackberry using BLUETOOTH.

I notice tethering with BT really sucks the juice out of the battery. Anyone?

Yeah, I agree with USB with latest BDM over BT, I created this thread as the earlier version of BDM did not support tethering.

If you are using bluetooth tethering, I always charged my BB (using its charger not USB) while tethering, the connection speed quite stable, I always use it when I am back to hometown.

My connection speed download is around 1.2Mbps, upload is around 0.4Mbps.

Agree. I had no issues tethering with BDM 6. Plug n play. I avoid bluetooth tethering as it sucks my BB battery and also notebook battery.

Mac Desktop Manager is different from Windows.. Its a bit complicated compare to what we used daily..

I dont know why BB is not Mac friendly. Maybe RIM is not in very good terms with Apple.

As we all know Apple and RIM are competitors and Mac not only cant support BlackBerry properly it also cant support most Mobile Suite in Market including Symbian and latest Andriod..

Can we freely select/deselect downloaded (OTA) app. like iPhone/iPod Touch yet?

U can download from App World. For BlackBerry the only reliable source for app is from AppWorld. Yes u can download directly from yr BB via 3G/EDGE or via WiFi.

I knew you understand my question, that's why I did not quote you.

I was quoting Rattan's reply.

It's so easy and convenience to add/remove (without delete) apps, waiting for the great feature in BB BDM very soon.

Ya, sorry i didnt get what u was referring to earlier. Then after u explain i understood. wink.gif

I find the tethering speed with DiGi is quite good. Youtube loads quite fast. Very satisfying.
