Thanks Dp.. and also to the Captain and Sparkling... I went to the Palm Chat and talked to a technician, because another person says that after the Palm Centro upgrade , of which i also did, their bluetooth connections were also shutting down. The Chat person consulted with another and didn't seem to know the answer and suggested i do a soft re-set on the phone. Nada Zilch.. I feel, like you, that the OS update killed the deal.. The question being would purchasing the new N810 cause the same problem?.. the N800 connectd to the phones bluetooth was always used.. I hope this thing can be resolved. thanks for your comment, Don
