Bluetooth Fun

You would think after how many years it took for Bluetooth to finally get into the market, that using it would be a piece of cake. For some things it is, for some things it's a PITA. Having just recently purchased a Nokia 3650 and getting a Bluetooth dongle for my PC, I have now had my first experience setting up Bluetooth. For things like sending files back and forth, it's so easy. Actually, easier than I expected. Once the devices are in range (10 meters is what it's rated for, but I am in range in the office my PC is in, and in my bedroom and kitchen which are the rooms next to the office), they need to be paired the first time. It's an easy process, just enter the same code on the PC and on the phone and they see each other. Then on, you don't have to do anything. You can set it so each devices will automatically authorize file transfers and such. It's pretty secure since no one can just access the data with any other device since all devices must enter a passcode the first time they connect.
Now, whenever I want to send an app, or a ringtone to my phone, all I have to do on my PC is right-click the file, go to the Send To menu, choose Bluetooth, and choose my phone from that menu. It arrives on my phone in the Inbox where I can install the app, or save a file somewhere.
Sending things back to the PC is just as easy. If I want to send a picture to my PC, in the imaging app, I can choose the picture, click Options>Send>Bluetooth. Then I have have to select my PC's device name from the list and the file is send right to a folder in My Documents.
That process was easy, but the hard part is the PC Suite that comes with the phone and lets you sync your data with MS Outlook. I'd really like to have this feature since my Sony Clie syncs with MS Outlook using Intellisync Lite. I haven't got it working yet, but I have done quite a bit to so far trying.
