Not sure what you mean by not having a Bluetooth Manager? The Bluetooth
Manager on my device often will not open. I have to do a soft reset  
of the
device to get the Bluetooth Manager. I don't think this has anything  
to do
with the Missing Sync, but it makes connecting or pairing a pain.

Did you initiate the pairing from the Mac or the device. For some  
reason it
is best to initiate the pairing from the phone using the Connection  
Wizard
in the Bluetooth Manager. There is a specific "ActiveSync via Bleutooth"
wizard. Smartphone's don't have the same type of wizard but you can  
initiate
the pairing from Start > Settings > Bluetooth. Some Smartphones also  
have a
"Setup BT ActiveSync" option in the ActiveSync menu.

The tips for clearing up any remaining Bluetooth connection problems  
are:

- Disable any firewalls, or open ports 5678 and 5679.

- If the device has both WiFi and Bluetooth, disable WiFi when trying to
Bleutooth sync.

- In the Bluetooth preferences on the Mac, select the sharing tab, then
select "Bluetooth-PDA-Sync" and try switching the type from "Modem to
RS-232."

- Make sure you have Bluetooth enabled in the Missing Sync preferences

- If your Mac is not currently connected to the Internet, try  
connecting to
the Internet and then connect via Bluetooth.
