You don't need to configure any COM port on your Pocket PC for ActiveSync,
but Bluetooth on your Pocket PC does not allow multiple outgoing serial
connections. You can either use ActiveSync or GPS at any time.

What model Pocket PC are you using? Check our Bluetooth Guides (link below)
for different configurations.

The basic rule is the same: you configure ActiveSync on your computer with
the Bluetooth Incoming port *as defined on your computer*. Then on your
Pocket PC you use the Bluetooth manager to create a shortcut for ActiveSync
and use it to establish the connection when needed.
