Some tips Just got mine working

I have ActiveSync 4.2 and was on this problem for many hours before I solved it. Here're some tips:
1. Try a different COM port in the Bluetooth advanced configuration.
2. Try renaming the "Bluetooth Serial Port" in Local services in Bluetooth configuration to "ActiveSync". Make sure that the COM port number matches what you've configured in the connection settings under ActiveSync software.
3. Delete the existing partnership from the phone. To do this tough and hold the name of the PC on the mobile device under bluetooth devices settings and when a menu appears, select delete. Now start fresh by going to activesync on the device and choosing "Connect via Bluetooth". Create a new partnership from scratch. This time hopefully you will see the ActiveSync service and the partnership would be recognized by ActiveSync.

This was perfect. I think the key was having the ActiveSync added to my PC before establishing connection from my HTC mogul

HTC Touch HD: went through steps but neither COM port 3 or 4 were working. Tried COM port 0 on a whim and it worked. Give it a go if you hit the same problem. Don't know why this works as it's definitely not set as 0 for ActiveSync, or Bluetooth ActiveSynch or Bluetooth Serial Port
