I have a Dell Latitude 820 and im trying to add my bluetooth mobile phone to
my bluetooth devices but unfortuantely the help section tells me to go to
Control Panel>Bluetooth Devices but Bluetooth Devices does not exist under
the Control Panel, or anywhere else. I know I have bluetooth because of the
stupid bluetooth light that is always on.

Did you ever fix your problem?  I have the same problem (I cannot locate
Bluetooth in Control panel anywhere in XP Pro nor in SP2 updates) as you did
and what is really confusing is that Microsoft's own help for XP Prof
references Bluetooth setup and usign Control panel to configure Bluetooth
compatability with XP and setting your PC to search for active blue tooth
devices.... this all sounds nice but how do I install this software??  DO you
have any idea?

No, actually I have never fixed this problem, nor have I found any support or
help without actually going direct a service rep. I might manage to work up
the courage to subject myself to tech support, and if I do I will let you
know what I find.
