    The MS Bluetooth stack is pretty limited in it's functionality and I can't get my (Sony-Ericsson) Bluetooth earphones to work with my TM8104. Does anyone know what alternate driver to user or any way to get this to work?

    Thanx.

    p.s. Bought 8104 several weeks ago in Taipei (Taiwan) for US$2211 including 2 years onsite waranty [ :D]

    If this doesn't work, then Sony have lock the BT device so they only work with their products.

    The MS's bluetooth driver is limited, get the thirdparty driver and utility.
