XP Bluetooth Support for T60

[Dodge DeBoulet]

One of the problems currently annoying me with my existing setup is that I can't sync my Blackberry to my laptop via the Bluetooth dongle I purchased. The dongle uses the Widcomm drivers, and they're incompatible with the Blackberry desktop software.

RIM claims that the only Bluetooth stack they support with their desktop application is the Windows native stack.

Is the built-in Bluetooth on the T60 compatible with the Windows XP native Bluetooth support, or is a Widcomm (or other) stack required?

I use the Windows XP BT support only on my R51. It works with BT mouse without problems.

IBM drivers are slightly different than Windows-native ones. In fact, IBM drivers are much better and support more features! =)

However, if Blackberry recommends to use Windows drivers, simply uninstall Bluetooth in your device manager, reboot your Thinkpad and let Windows install its default drivers. You should be good to go from there.
