Hi, I believe this is because Humanware themselves wrote the bluetooth code as Windows CE 4.2 either didn't offer it at all or offered it in such a bad way that Humanware had no choice but to write it themselves.

I was able to connect the first time I set up the bluetooth. But I hasn't been successful during subsequent times after that. The tech person said it is probably best to use USB for ActiveSync for a solid connection. I thought to myself, "Then why do you offer bluetooth as a service to BrailleNote when it's not even reliable?" My laptop and my cellphone connect with each other automatically without any effort. I would love to hear about some of you who have success connecting with bluetooth.
