Yes. I rarely sync with cables- I use IR with my older PDAs, and BT with
the newer ones.

Go into Activesync on the desktop and set it to use a serial port in the
"Connections" menu, and select whatever virtual COM port the assigns to the
BT hardware. Then set the PC to discoverable mode, and discover it from
the device, (not the other way around!) Then when you search for available
services on the discovered PC, "Activesync" should be available.
