When I got my Q, I didn’t find anything about Mobile 6 or Vista in the manual, so I googled and fortunately got your site. I turned off the phone/radio, connected, and strangely, rather than having me set up a new phone, Windows Mobile 6 recognized the Q as my Palm PDA (which I was replacing with a smartphone). That’s fine. Just to be sure, I didn’t turn the radio back on until the sych finished. Everything worked perfectly.

I guess Vista is ok with the Q as long as it “thinks” it’s just a PDA.

If you go into the wireless control panel on the Q (gotten to by clicking on the home screen’s wireless network name – should be “Verizon” in the US), you can turn off the wireless. This is the same thing you’d do if you were trying to use your Q on the airplane (e.g. no send/receive happening but you can still use the phone’s organizer software/etc.).

I always keep/kept (I’m off a Q now) my Bluetooth radio off and only turned it on when I needed it for handfree calling. So, I don’t know if that interacts oddly with Vista or not.

any help would be appreciated..

I had the exact same problem and we’re ok so far! Thanks for the tip!
