I am having a NOKIA BH-503 bluetooth headset wich I normally use with my BB torch. I followed your instructions but no luck. After a successful pairing message is displayed on the play book, the next step was to click on the diaplayed "Connect" tab but this tab is not active for clicking.
How do I get around this to connect and listen to the playbook music with my bluetooth headset??
