In most cases, any BT dongle can be used with any BT software to communicate with any* BT device.
*Provided the device has support for the required BT profile.
Almost all USB 2.0 Compliant devices support older USB 1.1 standard too (unless stated otherwise). So, I don't think it's a compatibility issue.
Try this: (order of steps is important)
1. Disconnect your BT dongle.
2. Uninstall all BT softwares. BlueSoleil, Float Mobile... etc.
3. Uninstall any remaining USB related devices in Device Manager under "Bluetooth USb", "Human Interface Devices", "Network Adapters", "Ports", "Sound, Video ...". In most cases, when we uninstall BT software that came with the BT dongle these are uninstalled automatically.
4. Restart PC and Install *"the software that came with"* yout BT dongle. If you didn't recieve any, you can install BlueSoleil. That's what I use with my K700i without any problems.
5. While installing BlueSoleil you may observe that dialogs are being dismissed automatically. That's normal. If you get a dialog that says something like "This driver has not passed Windows test..." install it anyway.
6. Though not necessary I would recommend that you restart your PC here.
7. You'll see a "Network cable unplugged" icon in your System Tray. Start BlueSoleil. When it says "Please insert a Bluetooth device" insert your BT dongle.
8. At this time XP will also detect your BT dongle and ask you to install drivers for it. Click on "Automatically install drivers..." and since you have BlueSoleil already installed, XP will find all the drivers automatically from system directories.
9. BlueSoleil's icon will turn blue in color and "Local Area Connection" icon with a "Red X" will dissappear.
10. That's it. Your Bluetooth is installed now!
Now just pair your K700i with your PC and transfer your top 10 Mp3s on to it.
Why? Because the sound quality with the bundled Sony's stereo earphones rock!!

Does anyone know how long flashing a K700i with the latest firmware will take at the service center?
I'm kinda uncomfortable with leaving my cellphone with them for a day.

Jatin Yaar! I already know this stuff!!
Since, I just bought my K700i this March, my firmware is the old R2CA001. I'll update it to R2AY004.
I know that Service Centres uses special equipment, cable and software to flash a mobile.
What I don't know is how long flashing a mobile device actually takes?
Anyone, have any idea?

Hey PinKLip,
You're correct mate!
R2CA001 is the latest firmware for K700i and we already have it 'coz we bought our cellphones after its release. I bought mine this March.
I got it confused with the older R2C ones 'coz I read in a review online that K700i supports "Timed Profiles" which this firmware doesn't support. So, I thought may be it's not the latest one.
It's a very cool feature!
I don't understand, why the hell SE removed it?
By the way, is your Bluetooth working fine now?
And thanks man! You just saved me from making a trip to the Service Centre.

Using Infra!! Holy Cow!
Transferring data must be taking ages, mate!
Anyway, here's a tip!
When your PC refuses to detect your K700i, just remove your Bluetooth dongle, re-insert and try again.
I don't know why but it works for me!!

I read on net that this sound could be Mutes either by changing the profile to "Meeting" or by setting the phone into "Silent" mode!
But the worst part is that it was possible in an older s/w version, the new versions doesnt allow it!
