I am considering purchasing a bluetooth dongle so I can sync my XDA2 with my computer. Does the XDA2 bluetooth stack support this and how easy is this to set up?

If anyone can recommend a decent dongle as well I would appreciate it. Thanks

I can sync my XDA II via my Billionton Bluetooth Class 1 dongle. You just need to select the ActiveSync profile when you install the Bluetooth software to your desktop PC.

i use the belkin dongle

i had some problems setting it up at first because i believed that
i would start activesync by pressing on the activsync button under the bluetooth settings

but as it turend out i had to choose the bluetooth bond under the activsync menu like with IR

also i made a seriel port on the pc and choose that under the pc activesync connections

i have a guide which is ok if you want it
