motorola phones have an inbuilt problem connecting to other file based devices such as pc's and laptops via bluetooth. every phone i have had from motorola has had this problem inculding the a1000 which was supposed to be the muts nuts for connectivity. dump the phone and either get a different make with windows mobile on it or just jet a decent nokia. sorry i cant help more. i gave up and just used the usb connection untill i got a better phone.

basically you've bought a very cheap bluetooth adapter off ebay or somewhere equally as dubious, i'm guessing it's probably from a hong kong seller, and basically they're selling adapters that have cloned 'mac' addresses. naughty.
every bluetooth adapter is meant to have a unique 'mac' address, it's a bit like a serial number.
the bluetooth adapter manufacturer is meant to buy a license from the makers of bluesoleil for EVERY adapter sold, which in reality means a licence for every unique 'mac' address.
these ebay sellers don't do that though, they clone every adapter they sell which means they all have the same 'mac' address, which in turn means when you plug it into your pc the bluesoleil software checks with a computer at bluesoleil via the internet to see if it is indeed a unique 'mac' address.
when it sees it's NOT a unique 'mac' address assigned to the adatper, the software locks your adapter out of the software.
basically, you've been scammed by the chinese.
if you read the 'faq' on http://www.bluesoleil.com they even mention the subject of unlicensed bluetooth adapters.
you can try using another bluetooth software to replace bluesoleil, but there aren't many alternatives and finding one that works with your bluetooth adapter will not be easy.
if you buy a decently priced bluetooth adapter that is a well known brand, and from somewhere like amazon.com, it will be fully legal and you won't run into these problems.

attempt this link. With both handsets Goto! MENU and click onto SETTINGS scroll all the way down to CONNECTIVITY and open! change the bluetooth to ON! One gadget is to obtain and one to deliver! elect the song to deliver,yet do no longer open it,press thoughts instead, and scroll all the way down to deliver and choose! The gadget will seek for for the different to obtain. basically follow the prompts on each handset. ie settle for ect ect
