The Loox 600 and 610 use "Pocket Plugfree" by Brycen Co., Ltd. and it's a
PITA to use and setup, in my opinion. Sometimes something works, sometimes
it doesn't and you never get a real clue WHY.

I have been able to connect my Loox 610 (BT, no WLAN) and ActiveSync via a
Bluetooth dongle, but don't ask how... It sometimes worked when I first
selected the Internet access via LAN on the Loox and then started ActiveSync
on the device by hand... Before that, I configured _static_ IP addresses for
the Bluetooth network device on the PC and in Pocket Plugfree on the PDA. I
did NOT use the "serial connection" in ActiveSync.

As I'm writing this I'm trying it again... no luck. *sigh*
