yeah if you dont use the freedom for a while it will go into BT standby (solid blue light not blinking) then you have to turn it off and back on in order to get it to discover mode.

i have "allow other to see me " checked in bt tab just as one hurdle i dont have to worry about. i still require devices discovering the phone to have the key and i dont have any private info on the phone so im not worried if someone tries to sniff me out...

yeah i think that manage gps thing is not needed since most of us are using one program to access it at a time anyway so i left it unchecked. i was able to get yahoo to go beta 2.0 to use the gps but im not sure if its due to the manage tab being unchecked or what... i need to do more testing but have not had a chance to do so yet...
