    I did the P1 recovery so I guess I have the different bt stacking program (Toshiba or something) but for the life of me I can not get my phone to activesync w/my compuer via bt. Both the phone and my tz see each other but when I go to windos mobile Device Center it says my phone is not connected and when I go to my activesync button and chose connect via bluetooth on my phone it says it's connect to goes to satus: connecting to host then it shows a yellow activesync symbol and shows attention required when I chose it it says:
    Result:
    ActiveSync encountered a problem on the desktop.
    Port Not Availale: Cannot comunicate with the PC because the port is not available. Another program may be using the port, or it may not be valid.

    Close any programs that use the port, retart the device, and try again.

    I had the same problem as you with activesync not working with bluetooth. Found out the problem was the Toshiba bluetooth stack. These directions came from the microsoft forums and credit is to Cristian N. Here is the link: http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3026782&SiteID=65

    Following these instructions i got my Sprint Mogul and TZ90HS to activesync via bluetooth. This should work with any phone and vista. I have Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 so I used the Intellipoint 64-bit version. I hope this helps others because I was searching forever on how to sync via bluetooth. :)
