Hi everybody,

when I try to connect my laptop to the internet using my SX66 and bluetooth, one of the following happens:

1) If gprs is already connected on the SX66, my laptop comes back and says 'phone is busy'.

2) If gprs is not connected, then I get a DUN connection, but no network connectivity. Connecting gprs then disconnects the DUN.

Is there a solution for this annoying crap? My old SE T616 let me DUN with my laptop just fine.

Could wiring the laptop to the SX66 with activesync, and some 3rd party app solve the problem?

thanks, I appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Also, could someone who has NOT applied the latest Siemens patch tell me if they get they same behavior?

Since I got the SX66, I've noticed the following bug.

The GPRS symbol appears in white briefly when I start up the phone, and then disappears.

If I connect using GPRS, then I get a black symbol which seems to stay after I've disconnected.

IF I try DUN when there is a disconnected, lingering black GPRS symbol it works. But if I actually connect GPRS, then it hangs up the DUN.

??????

Now I have a working solution. Before using Bluetooth DUN, connect and disconnect GPRS.

Out of curiosity, is this business unique to the SX66, or common across the Blueangel platform?
