This Dell TrueMobile Bluetooth 300 CF driver farce has been going on for months. They initially forgot about the drivers for their own card when they released WM 2003. There has been correspondance on the Dell Community Support forum for at least two months about this. There is a 2003 driver on the Dell UK page but this apparently don't work as your Bluetooth Manager disappears!
I have to admit I got really peeved about this as I bought the Axim for, amongst other things, ActiveSyncing to Outlook. I was also told, after I bought their card for £60 and WM 2003, to keep 2002 on my machine until drivers are released. That was back in June. I voted with my wallet, sold it and got an Ipaq 1940 which has 2003 and built in Bluetooth and it works out of the box. I liked the Ax, the price was great but a company as large as Dell have really handled this badlly and lost a lot of customers.
And outsourcing Customer Support to India is another subject....
