Briefly:

In my opinion, Nokia should implement the bluetooth connection via virtual serial (COM) port.

Explanation:
The most wanted feature is connecting bluetooth enabled phones to PC Suite application on Windows via bluetooth. The "Nokia Connection Manager" supports only two bluetooth stack for the moment: 1. Digianswer's blutooth stack 2. Socket BT CF Card stack. This means, you can use only two BT card at this time.

The reason:
Bluetooth is a well defined standard, but there is no a well defined common software interface layer (API) for using these devices on Windows platform. Microsoft is working on its own API, but it's far from complete implementation. There are a lot of missing bluetooth profiles in that. If this will be ready to release, it will solve every software related problems with bluetooth. But when? Who knows?

The resolution:
Every Bluetooth stack implements virtual serial (COM) ports. I use Toshiba Tecra 9100 notebook with built-in bluetooth card, and the Toshiba Bluetooth stack 2.0 implements virtual serial (COM) ports. I can use this built-in card for dial-up connection via 6310i phone. It uses a modem on the COM6 virtual port. It works well, but the Nokia PC Suite can't use COM6 port. If I choose COM6 in the Nokia Connection Manager it freezes (the InfraRed connection works well). I don't know why.

I think, Nokia can implement a connection via virtual serial ports, because it is not so hard to do it. PLEASE, DO IT.

I would like to ask everybody, please, complain about the lack of virtual serial port connection for Nokia. It will resolve every bluetooth connection problem immadiately. I am sure of it.
