Bluetooth Connection Failed
Hi, I know I keep posting about this but I really want to get by bluetooth to work with my BB 8120. I've seen all the threads and have followed all the directions but when I go to transfer an mp3 to my phone from my laptop I keep getting "transfer failed" on my phone and "The file transfer could not be completed because the connection was lost. Make sure your Bluetooth radio is plugged in and the devices are within range of each other." on my laptop. What am I doing wrong? My phone is set to receive via bluetooth, my desktop manager is set up, etc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....Thanks!

I get "Bluetooth connection failed" attempting to connect between my BlackBerry Pearl 8100 and both my Nokia 3110 Classic and my Nokia 7650 as well as my Windows XP PC. The two Nokia 'phones can talk to each other and to the PC just fine.
