If I select the phone options to send a card it connects but then it drops the connection and that has nothing to do with bitpim.

Trial-and-error.  I kept fiddling with things until I was able to get it to connect.  In the end I had to create a new serial port to go with the bluetooth device.  Once I did that I was able to connect.  It gave me a panel with the phone's owner (me) and I had to click OK;  I don't recall that ever happening before.  After that it worked okay.

I have no idea what has happened in the past several months.  I used to have a serial port that bluetooth would use but it must have gotten deleted somewhere along the line.
