    This morning I successfully connected my iPhone 3G to my laptop (sig) and was able to play music from my iPhone using my laptop speakers. I was also able to transfer contacts.

    Now, my laptop won't detect my iPhone, and vice versa. I have tried reinstalling the driver from Dell.ca but no success. Device Manager shows Dell Wireless Card and Microsoft BT Enumerator under BT Radios, and no unknown devices. Any advice?

    Yes, iPhone says Now Discoverable. My laptop is always discoverable.
