Microsofts Windows mobile device website gave registry regedit information to get your Q's Bluetooth to sync with windows mobile device center. I'll copy and paste it here. Has anyone got this to work with a dongle or usb BT device. My registry doesn't contain the Key. I'm still working on it though.

I posted the link to the site at the bottom it says the same thing though

<LI class=listItemCaret>The Motorola Q phone cannot connect to Windows Vista via Bluetooth The Motorola Q uses the Broadcom Bluetooth stack which has a fundamental issue that does not allow it to connect to Windows XP and Windows Vista.
- <LI class=listItemNumber>On your PC, change the registry key “HKLM\software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services” SerialPort value from “Bluetooth” to “COM3” (or whatever you need)
- Reboot the PC
- Connect the device

<LI class=listItemNone>If this does not work, please try the following:
- <LI class=listItemNumber>Moto Q: BT Manager / Settings:
  - <LI class=listItemNone>- Check Bluetooth On
  - - Check Allow other BT devices to see this phone

    <LI class=listItemNone>- PC: Installing Bluetooth device
    <LI class=listItemNone>- Moto Q: Bluetooth Authorization: Accept all connections from this device, Accept
  - - PC: Note Incoming COM port #, Finish
