Unfortunately I'm legally bound by a non-disclosure agreement so I can't say much, however would it susprise you folks much to know that the original 210 wasn't made my HP?

(BTW, it was the 5450, back in 2002)

There have been a number of post about the lost of Bluetooth from HP iPAQ Wireless. Here is an image from the flip side where Only the Bluetooth tab is shown,

I like my 214 but agree that it could be better. There are a few niggles that make using it frustrating; they are obviously bugs. A couple of items are missing too eg. Remote Desktop. Perhaps HP was building to a price. My hx4700 cost twice as much.
Hopefully, HP will patch the bugs. If they don't, I'll look elsewhere for equipment in the future. That's an option we all have.

I can't beam via BT from Pocket Informant and this is annoying me. I can from previous devices. I think I'll check out the Multiplatform Bluetooth File Sending Bible. Thanks for that idea.
