Bluetooth troubles with V710 X51v, and also sync via bluetooth?

Is it possible it's an error on Verizon's end with my account? I'm thinking of trying to call them in the morning and seeing if I can get it set.

UPDATE!!! I found out the issue. Apparrently, a small amount of phones that were shipped out use a firmware that is incompatible/bugged for data calls from any device. The version of the firmware that is like this is 8700_2.03.00R. I am going to go down to a Verizon store soon and have it swapped for one without the defective firmware. After calling Verizon and having the tech unofficially hint at this, I found a thread at HowardForums (http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...hreadid=465822) about my exact issue several were experiencing awhile back. The only fix was to swap the phone.

This is being posted for posterity's sake, as well ;) :).

I'm able to synch with USB. When I go to Bluetooth local services, I do not see ActiveSync as a service. Perhaps I deleted it during my 3 hours of hair pulling? I tried re-installing ActiveSync 4.1. No change. I tried "Bluetooth Configuration-> Local Services->Add Serial Service", and changed the text from "Bluetooth Serial Port" to "ActiveSync". Yeah - pretty desperate I know. But now ActiveSync shows up as a Local Service. Maybe. I made sure it was assigned to COM7. My Axim is discoverable and already paired with the computer. On the Axim bluetooth device tab, I see my computer. I edit the Partnership settings. ActiveSync is not shown. I refresh. Still no ActiveSync. ActiveSync->Menu->Connect via Bluetooth results in "Cannot find an existing Bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSync. Repeated trying produces the same frustration.

I'm envious of those who have their Bluetooth up and running. Anyone have any suggestions?

I can't get mine going either now :(.

My Axim syncs only once too when using bluetooth. Then no matter what I do I cannot initiate another sync until I unpair the devices and reconfigure the connection. I read somewhere that once the sync has been established I should use a bluetooth activesync shortcut to sync and not the activesync menu? How do I create a bluetooth shortcut if this is the answer, the article looked like it was referencing a much older version of PDA OS. Has anyone else had a similar issue that they've managed to rectify? Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
