Re: a cautionary tale - with a happy ending
It's now 7 am... 7 hours since my Touch froze. It's taken me that long to get my bluetooth connection restored and working; get active synch restored and working.
With active synch - I don't want to tell you how many times I installed/uninstalled/reinstalled active sync 4.5 on my XP desktop and tried to sync to no avail with my Touch. That took at least two hours. The secret to a successful reconnect was going into the active synch options on my Touch and unchecking every *%$#@ box that had a checkmark in it. Every single one. Then my desktop finally set up a new partnership and I was able to active sync again.

Needless to say, now that everything's working again, I just did a BACKUP.
