    My W5ae has bluetooth but there's no Bluetooth Devices option in the Control Panel. I want to connect my phone to MS ActiveSync using bluetooth but I can't make the connection. MS instructions call for this app in the Control Panel. Anything I'm missing? (Note I've made bluetooth connections before with a Treo to Palm's desktop so I know the radio works.)

    No one else experienced this? I can't find an answer anywhere with Asus.

    my W5F doesn't have the bluetooth devices control panel either. i believe you only get that control panel with microsoft's bluetooth stack. the W5F comes with toshiba's bluetooth stack... i'd assume that the same is true for the W5A? i guess the equivalent would be the bluetooth manager app that pops up when you double-click on the bluetooth system tray icon (or try start menu->all programs->bluetooth->bluetooth settings).

    i don't know if that helps at all...?
