    I'm trying to pair my Mobile Phone with my Acer and it needs a PIN, I can't find anywhere in documentation where I can setup what my PIN is for bluetooth on my laptop... anyone anyone?

    Okay Update, I discovered that neither device appears to have a "set" PIN I just had to try to send something from the phone to the PC, at which point the PC asks me to set the PIN, then the mobile requires the same PIN and now it all works.

    Bluetooth Outlook is setup... thank goodness!

    yeah, that's standard bluetooth for you.

    you enter a PIN which you can make up, like "1", then enter the same one on the device.

    this is so that somebody sitting next to you in the airport can't just connect to your cell phone. and also so you don't accidentally set up a sync to the wrong device.
