Hi Paul,
Sorry that wasn't helpful. Maybe Terri's suggestion might work. I'll

Dear Paul,
One more wild idea. Did you try turning off ActiveSync? Go to
the
utilities miscellaneous options and change the ActiveSync
connection from
serial to infrared? Then, try logging on with your cell phone.
I hope this
idea works. It would mean changing your ActiveSync connection
every time
you wanted to use ActiveSync.
