Mobility Site - View Single Post - Where's the "connect" option for bluetooth devices in WM5?

Title says it all. I've been having trouble consistently pairing my BT gps with the axim. In WM2003SE, there is a "connect" option for every bt device that is discovered in the bluetooth manager. But in WM2005, there is no such thing.

I've properly set up my gps, ie discover, found device, check serial service, new outgoing port, etc. And it works fine. But when I turn off the pda and the gps and turn them back on, they do not automatically communicate, which I thought they should once they have been previously paired. I have to re-discover the gps, pair it again, new outgoing port, etc.

Am I missing something? I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to BT, but I assumed that once paired, both devices should be able to automatically find each other and communicate as soon as I turn on bluetooth.
