(for Windows XP users)
-> First of all, you NEED NOT INSTALL Windows XP SP2 for it. (There are alternative Solutions)
1. Install the latest Nokia PC Suite (03 Aug 2006) version 6.8
( http://www.nokia-asia.com/nokia/0,8764,78344,00.html )
2. The following Bluetooth types will work with Nokia PC suite 6.8, and nothing else:
• Microsoft Windows XP Bluetooth (included in Windows XP Service Pack 2)
• Toshiba Bluetooth Stack for Windows XP/2000 version 4.0
• Widcomm BTW 1.4, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0
• IVT BlueSoleil Bluetooth stack for Windows XP/2000, driver version 1.6.1.4 (or higher)
NOTE: Your Bluetooth software must be installed before you install Nokia PC Suite.
-> Hope it works now!
"I have done it successfully with Bluetooth - IVT BlueSoleil v. 1.6.4.0 and Nokia PC Suite 6.81.13 and my Nokia 6230i"

Use Windows Bluetooth with a Bluetooth Device that is not recognizable by Windows XP as a Bluetooth device.
I bought a medium priced USB Bluetooth device in order to connect my phone with my desktop via Bluetooth. The USB Bluetooth device came with a CD that contained the Blue Soleil Bluetooth Drivers. After installing it (install, restart blah blah) the connection with my phone and the Blue Soleil software was perfect. But with the Nokia PC Suite wasnt! When I googled my problem I saw that the Nokia PC Suite is incompatible with Blue Soleil Bluetooth Drivers. Nokia claims that the suite was only compatible with Windows Bluetooth, the WIDCOMM Bluetooth Driver and some other driver I cant remember. I tried installing the WIDCOMM driver but it was unsuccessful in finding the hardware. Therefore, all my efforts went into making Windows Bluetooth work with my usb Bluetooth device.
In order to use the Windows Bluetooth service you just have to put the device in the usb slot and then windows will identify it as a Bluetooth device and then install the correct drivers. That didnt happen with my device. When I selected the automatic installation of the hardwares drivers the usb was recognizable as a Bluetooth Radio but the drivers were not installed. I got a big exclamation mark right by the ISSCEDRBTA driver saying drivers not installed. After a long - long study of online forums and stuff I found out that Windows Bluetooth only support some specific brands of Bluetooth devices! (Don&t know why; not here to judge)
So, all you have to do, if you have the same problem as me, is to force Windows Bluetooth to accept your device. In order to achieve this follow the following directions. Uninstall everything that has anything to do with Bluetooth drivers before you do
Directions:
Plug in the Usb Bluetooth device.
In the hardware installation window let windows find automatically the drivers
Windows will identify the hardware but won’t install the driver.
Open Device Manager (Go to Start Menu>Run> devmgmt.msc and the press OK)
Expand Bluetooth radios.
Under Bluetooth radios you will see "Isscedrbta" with a yellow exclamation mark.
Double click on it and then go to the Details tab. Select Hardware Instance Id
Highlight one of the two ids shown and then press ctrl+c (copy)
Now uninstall the driver by right clicking the Isscedrbta input and select uninstall.
Go to Start Menu>Run> write %windir%/inf/ and the press OK
Find and file called bth.inf and open it. If u dont find bth.inf open bth.ini
Under "Device section - Start" are a list of usb Bluetooth brands that windows Bluetooth support.
Under the first category copy-paste this:
ISSCEDRBTA= BthUsb, USB\Vid_1131&Pid_1004
for example (before)
;------------- Device section - Start -----------------------
[ALPS.NT.5.1]
ALPS Integrated Bluetooth Device= BthUsb, USB\Vid_044e&Pid_3005
Alps Bluetooth USB Adapter= BthUsb, USB\Vid_044e&Pid_3006
(After)
;------------- Device section - Start -----------------------
[ALPS.NT.5.1]
ALPS Integrated Bluetooth Device= BthUsb, USB\Vid_044e&Pid_3005
Alps Bluetooth USB Adapter= BthUsb, USB\Vid_044e&Pid_3006
ISSCEDRBTA= BthUsb, USB\Vid_1131&Pid_1004
Now highlight the part USB\Vid_1131&Pid_1004 and then press ctrl+v (paste) so the Hardware Id that you copied before in Device Manager gets pasted there.
Save file and exit.
If u only had the bth.ini and not the bth.inf file then do this: select the bth.ini press copy and paste it in the same window (C:\WINDOWS/inf/)
Now you will have a file in this folder with the name "copy of bth.ini". Rename that file into bth.inf . When you get asked if you want to allow the extension to change just press Ok.
Now we are ready to go.
Plug in the usb Bluetooth device.
In the hardware installation window let windows find automatically the drivers.
Windows will now identify the hardware and install the correct drivers.
