Bluetooth Networking is hanging MacBook

I apologize if this has already been answered, but I didn't see it in the posts.

I have a MacBook running a 10.5.1 upgrade from 10.4. The phone I use for Bluetooth tethering is a Sanyo SCP-8400 running Sprint's service.

In 10.4 everything worked fine, no problems, could stay connected all day with no issue.

After the upgrade, everything still connects fine, but at random the machine will hang after I click connect on the Bluetooth networking option. You will see the flashing connecting at the top, then the flashing connecting will hang and I get the wonderful colored pinwheel of death. I have to power off to get the machine back.

Any suggestions?

I am using standard Bluetooth networking, nothing fancy.

Thanks
Phil.

Same problem here with my N82.

Not acceptable with such a high pricely product.

Hope they'll fix it.

The worst thing: Everytime an error occurs in Leo, I think it is MY fault 'cause I heard Mac's would have no bugs, but it is!

Ditto with a Nokia N82 on the Fido network, connecting from a Powerbook G4 running 10.5.5.

First few times I connected via BT to the phone I was able to stay on for hours. Now it seems that I'm disconnected suddenly after only a few minutes. Only way to start again is to reboot the Powerbook and the phone.
