Being an P800 owner, I am all too happy to read interesting comments 
from someone who knows about bluetooth ;-)

Nice that iSync 1.1 will use SyncML. I have been in contact with Nokia, 
one of the people on the board of the SyncML group, and got the info 
that Nokia doesnt use SyncML over bluetooth, or cable, in they Nokia 
Data Communication Suite for WimpDOS. And that they probably will use 
SyncML in the future, but no definition of how long away that future 
is.......  SonyEricsson was as blunt, telling they do not use SyncML 
for their own (Windows)  sync program. One really got worried that 
SyncML was more or less an mess of standard papers of hot air.

Do you or anyone else know if one needs upgrading the P800 to the april 
firmware ("R2D" version) to fix bugs with SyncML, or if the earlier 
version do work? I have some friend whose upgrade have been stalled at 
the middle of the upgrade, and they still havent got their phones back.


/Örjan - which recently got info that Belkin hope that they will 
release their Bluetooth Acess Point in europe in june, but did say it 
would work with Mac. Will have to check up if thats because OS X still 
miss some bluetooth networking profile, or if there is something else.
