instead of using the n800 to see any devices, can your powerbook see the n800 instead? if so, use that to do the pairing instead of using the n800.

I then tried pairing the n800 with an old nokia phone and it worked fine. So what is broken with this new firmware update is the ability to pair with my Powerbook -- previous versions of IT OS did allow it.

At this point, the Powerbook's public HD did appear on the Filemanager menu. Part of my confusion is that on IT OS 2006 the whole intercation took place thru the Phone control panel... now, for pairing with a non-phone device the intercation is done thru the new Bluetooth control panel. And indeed, starting from scratch I was able to initiate pairing from the 800... but not without some flakiness.
So yes, pairing with the powerbook does indeed work now!
Thanks,

I have a somewhat related question - but I don't mean to change the thread...
If you restore from a backup do you have to go through the whole "pairing process" or will my bluetooth pairing settings be remembered from the backup?
Thank you.
edited to add - AFTER I reflash the new firmware will my bluetooth settings be restored form backup?
