I paired my T610 to my iBook. Bluetooth indicates they are connected. When I click on the phone number label in Address Book, the only option I get is 'Large Type'. Shouldn't I be able to dial from my Address Book?

One thing is that I don't currently have a signal on my cell phone because I am in my office. Is it smart enough to know that and not give me the option to dial? I just wanted to try it out assuming Address Book wouldn't know one way or the other if my phone had a signal.

thanks,
kman

Where's the bluetooth button? I checked AB Prefs and looked on the window.

Quit and relaunch Address Book.

When you have a bluetooth adapter plugged in you should have a bluetooth symbol in the top left of the address book window.

Click this symbol to link to the phone.

It also cannot be connected to any other device. In fact, you cannot use Sony Ericsson clicker with the address book at the same time.
