Have mine for 5 months now and never had a dust problem, but I HATE the phone! Am seriously considering replacing it with something else, just do not know what yet. Even though I still have 19 months of my contract left, I am prepared to sign a new contract, (and pay for both), but I have to get rid of this aggrevation! :evil:

Hi,

Thanks for the manual! I thought my problem was finally solved but alas, I have to ask for more help!
My phone is an i-mate SP3 but the software (on the phone) is obviously different to what you describe in the manual. I can not set COM ports on the phone. (No option for that) The Active Sync software on the PC defaults to COM3. I made sure COM3 is available and also detected in the Blootooth Devices Setup under the "COM Ports" tab. When trying to find the PC from the phone, the phone detects the PC and requests a passkey. The PC requests the passkey as well. After a while the phone displays a message "ERROR: Your smartphone did not connect with COMPUTERNAME. The connection failed or the passkey is incorrect. (Same passkey entered on both devices - (grin...)) The phone is loaded with Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 Build 14132, Radio version 1337.29.01_0.03.17.The PC is loaded with Active Sync Version 3.8.0 Build 5004 and the standard Windows XP Bluetooth Devices.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. I am considering changing the name form I-Mate to I-Hate ! :evil:

Cheers,
Herman
