I want to connect to a Nokia 7650 using the bluetooth
device supplied with microsofts wireless keyboard and
mouse. The instructions for the phone state that a serial
port profile must exist. How do I do this?
Many thanks for anyones help

Why not ask Nokia?

My guess is that if you install the Nokia Bluetooth driver,
the device should automatically detect the computer when
within 30 feet or so.

Well Nokia is just stating that the 7650 needs the Serial Port Profile for
Bluetooth connections, which is currently NOT supported by the Bluetooth
software from Microsoft (neither the one that comes with the keyboard or the
mouse), the Microsoft Bluetooth sw does support cellular phone connections,
but these can NOT be used with the 7650.

Other bluetooth adapters out there (Acer, etc) do not suffer from this
problem, but using 2 bluetooth adapters on the same computer is no good
idea, so you either have to use the other adapter with the Microsoft
hardware (and lose the extended functionality of the mouse or keyboard
driver), or stick with the microsoft bluetooth adapter and be unable to use
the bluetooth connection for alot of devices

i hope MS does fix this soon, i already send a email to them way back in the
past about this, but never got any response. Nokia on the other site
answered really quick, telling me that the current MS drivers do not allow a
connection, and i either need to use a cable, infrared or other bluetooth
adapter
