The next phase of the update was to install the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack driver. The new driver package update first installed the firmware with success. The update required uninstalling the previous driver before the new one could be installed.


At the Dell web site I found a new driver update R117967 and proceeded to download. Before uninstalling the Toshiba Stack, I decided to see if there was an update for the Toshiba Bluetooth. The software developer technical support advised that their software was not compatible with the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and should uninstall it and install the MS Windows Bluetooth Stack that is embedded in Win XP. The software installed on the E1505 would not connect to the Bluetooth scanner. Next challenge was to implement a wireless Bluetooth scanner to import barcodes to an Excel file for database management. Finally, I succeeded and was now able to sync the Titan 6800 with Outlook on the E1505 and transfer files to and from the notebook. At first I had difficulty getting the Pocket PC paired with the E1505. Upon selecting "Configure", a whole bunch of COM ports were created, and the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack Manager was installed. I clicked on the Bluetooth icon in the lower right side windows taskbar and was alerted that the Bluetooth had not yet been configured. During the first part of February 2008, I decided to start synchronizing my HTC 6800 (Titan) Pocket PC Phone with Bluetooth instead of the USB cable. As of February 2008, I had never tried to use the Bluetooth, because I did not have any Bluetooth devices. This notebook has been in use for about 18 months without any major issues, other than the usual ones. I have an Inspiron 6400/E1505 notebook, with WinXP Pro Sp2 and on-board 350 Toshiba Bluetooth hardware module.
