came across this hotfix from HTC's site: This hotfix enhances the security mechanisms of the Bluetooth service to make the Bluetooth communication more secure. Release Date: 2009-08-14

This hotfix can only be applied on Touch Pro (Verizon)/ Touch (Sprint) which has the FTP service preinstalled.

Thax. Actually I hadn't bothered to load it myself, due to the fact I really have no use for bt at the moment, and of pure laziness. Now thats pretty lazy. LOL.

I think its their response to this article back in January.

LOLSame here. I honestly have not used bluetooth on my Vogue since I got it. But I thank you for posting. It's good to know that it is out there. I'm sure someone will use it.
