You may have to re-install from scratch, i.e. uninstall BT and PC-Suite,
re-install BT and then follow the instructions of the link.

That's at least what I had to do.

Unfortunately, bluetooth ports, based on drivers from Extended Systems
have their own phone management program XTNDConnect and are
incompatible with any phone synchronization software from the
third-party manufacturers.

I got the same problems with a 6820, PC Suite and Bluetooth. The problem
is clearly in the PC Suite software, although Nokia denies that.

Sometimes I can solve my connection problem in the following way (this
maybe some help for you or not):

1) Close Nokia PC suite.
2) In my bluetooth places select the phone, unpair it and then pair it again
with the phone.
3) Restart Nokia PC suite. Select Nokia PC sync. If it crashes, just start
it again. Then close it again. Now you have a PC sync icon in the taskbar.
4) Right-click on this icon and select Phone Selector... Then select your
phone (if it's there, if not, re-install PC Suite and try again) and click
OK.
5) Now you can synchronize or perform any other PC suite function (except
downloading todo items, in which case it always complains the phone memory
is full, even if it's empty, and breaks the connection).

This is how it works for me, as you can see this is awfull and I am still
very mad at Nokia they don't care. Not one single reaction on my complaints
and no help from their helpdesk at all.

Some history: Connect to PC Suite 5.65: impossible. PC-suite 5.7: better.
PC suite 6.0: worse (though much friendlier interface).
Re-install and it works as long as I stay within the 10m BT range, after that
it just crashes, or PC suite can't find the phone or just disconnects
during data transfer.

Contacted helpdesk: they always react with: please re-install your s/w, but
don't know anything about any problem. Or tell me to contact Nokia development.
Nokia development: please contect the helpdesk.
The worst is they just ignore the problems and say their software is
fine (maybe it is, sometimes, for some people). But BT connection software
is really very immature. They clearly don't maintain the BT connection state
in a proper way. And they don't test properly (I think only in their own lab,
not with real users).

Didn't expect that from a company like Nokia, and didn't expect this kind of
shitty service at all! They make great phones, but unreliable software, and
very disappointed users!

Good luck, Paul.
