1.0.2 has not been released, yet. 1.0.2b1 comes before 1.0.2.

I have just tested this with a 5550 and installed 3 CAB files, one 2.6 
MB, one 96 KB, and one 84 KB. While Missing Sync will sit in a tight 
loop and appear to be frozen, this is only during the file transfer. I 
have found that if you leave the Bluetooth Manager on the 5550, 
sometimes the ActiveSync connection dies. If Bluetooth is saying 
connect and then disconnect, it sounds like your Bluetooth signal is 
not very good. For me, in the Bluetooth Manager, it says that the 
signal strength is "Just Right".

What kind of Bluetooth adapter are you using?
