COM Port - connecting via USB Cable and Bluetooth

[konieckropka]

Hi!
For a long time I have been connecting my K850i to PC only throught bluetooth.
But since I started sending and organizing my photos (and bigger videos) with MyPhoneExplorer...
it tooks to much time to send all photos.

So, as I knew, I could plug the phone through USB, go to settings > Connection and press "Search for device" what i did.
Of course MyPhoneExplorer successfully found it on another COM port (different from Bluetooth COM).

So, my question is..
If I want to connect my phone explorer and K850i alternately, once via Bluetooth, once via USB... Do I always have to change settings, and press "Search for Device" ? Or maybe there is another way, for example something with "User" feature (which partially i don't understand).
I would like to have always the same data in tabs even if I connect through different way USB/Bluetooth, like Phone Contacts, Appointments and Inbox/Sent Messages.
Different connection - same phone.

In the upcoming version 1.7.3 you can set a "alternate Port" - if MPE cannot open the USB-Port then he will use the Bluetooth-Port.

Its no problem to use diffrent ports for the same phone. MyPhoneExplorer loads the Database based on the IMEI of the phone and not based on the Portsetting.

Great :>
And when new version will come out? Is it a secret? :]

Its not a secret, but there is not a fixed release-date. Lets say "soon"

Did the alternate Port feature get dropped from the latest beta (1.73 - 9/7/09)? It is in the release notes feature list.

For the Symbian-Phones Bluetooth does not work good (as you can read also on my Homepage -> only USB recommened). Cause of this reason the "Alternate Port" is not avaiable for Symbian-Phones.
