M500 / Magician - Cut down bluetooth?

[Guest futurity]

Hi,

A few days ago i bought an Orange SPV M2000 (the big PDA sized phone by Orange in the UK). It was £150 more than the M500 (also know as the Magician), so when i managed to create a bluetooth LAN connection on the M2000 i decided the extra £150 spent for the Wifi feature was a waste of money so i took it back and got a M500 / Magician instead.

However the M500 doesn't seem to have all the standard bluetooth features. Most noticably the Bluetooth Connection wizard needed to create a bluetooth LAN Connection. The wizard is part of teh Bluetooth Manager software.

Does the M500 have a cut down version of the M2000's Windows Mobile software?

Is the M500's bluetooth not capable of a LAN connection?

If i install the latest BigStorage ROM, will it give me the Bluetooth Manager software?

I've attached 2 images of the M2000's Bluetooth Manager software which seems to be missing from my M500.

Any help would be much appreciated?

I suspect (but I'm not certain) that the M2000 uses the widcomm bluetooth stack.

The M500 uses the Microsoft one.

This would explain why the options from one aren't present on the other.

im not sure of which stack each one uses, but im certian that the m2000 can connect to cell phones - for internet access, this can be seen in the above pics!! i dont see the need for this as these are no ordinary ppc's, theyre ppcpe's (pocket pc phone edition)

slightly off topic but still - jus thought i'd add my two pence :)
