Bluetooth issue with Leopard is with the N73

I was very excited installing Leopard into my MacBook. And I did it under an hour and after figuring out if everything still works, everything really still works. In my last post, Just installed Mac OS X Leopard!, I checked every applications that I used in my daily routine and everything except the Bluetooth goes well.

I thought the Bluetooth issue is with the MacBook, but after Googling, i found out that this is with Nokia N73 issue with the MacBook. It's incompatibility maybe.

In my Bluetooth icon found at the top above, I can add a mobile device. The MacBook Bluetooth can find the N73 device, it can connect and in a while the MacBook Bluetooth configuration will ask you to enter the Pairing Key to authorized the MacBook device to access the N73. So I did enter all the codes and after entering, the MacBook Bluetooth will search for the services that is in the Nokia device and it will search for eternity. The MacBook doesn't hang during this process but just an infinite searching of device. During this process, while searching for the services, the Bluetooth icon of the MacBook is already in the normal state. Meaning it is not connected anymore with the found device. This goes as well with the N73 where the Bluetooth icon don't have anymore the open and close parenthesis.

But then you can found the N73 device already hanging in the menu of the MacBook bluetooth. When I send a file or browse the N73 device from the MacBook, it connects for a while and disconnects. This happen to all the application that connects to the N73 via Bluetooth.

Trying to fix things, I updated my Nokia Multimedia manager from 1.1 to 1.2, but still things doesn't work.

In this forum, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5647902&#5647902, this shows that N73, not only with me, doesn't really works under Mac OS X Leopard until Nokia will do something for this. :)

I think I just have to wait for the fix or maybe I will stumble to a fix.

I still love my devices.
