Syncing Blackjack II with Windows Vista using bluetooth

This post is a little bit off-topic in my blog, but since I had to spend some time trying to make this work and I saw some foruns where people are having the same problem with no solution I thought I would put here what I've done to make my Windows Mobile 6 to synchronize with my Vista machine via bluetooth. I hope I can remeber the steps right.

1. Download Windows Mobile Center

According to Windows Vista help, ActiveSync was replaced with Windows Mobile Center in Vista. After this, I tried connecting my phone with Vista via bluetooth, but I still couldn't.

2. Follow the instructions on the Windows Mobile Device Center help for "Connect using Bluetooth".

You can also see the steps online, although I prefer the formatting in the offline help. The most important note there is that you have to attach your device to the computer using a USB cable first.
Also, if you have added a device following the cellphone manual before getting to this step (as I did), delete the device from the cellphone and add it again.

 

It seems simple, but I just got at this point after I tried a couple of different things.
