Hey everyone,

I have a Windows mobile 5 smartphone and i paired it with my mac. I try to browse the device from my mac but it keeps telling me "the device does not have the necessary services." How do i get around this problem?

Theres not really a work around. They are on different file/service/software services. Some smartphones can be used as a modem but they don't have file transfer capability. Besides that windows smart phones are hard to work with on mac without "the missing sync" a mac app to share contacts and files with a smartphone over usb.

I've had zero success with my Blackberry Pearl 8130 over BT. I tried to get my wife's KRZR K1m to connect via BT as well to do a contact dump before she took it in for phone replacement, no luck there either.
