Windows Vista Sync for a Tunsten T3

Question

Just got a new computer with Vista loaded and am trying, fruitlessly I might add, to download, install and use Palm Desktop version 6.2 to sync my Tungsten to my computer. I think I've tried almost every possible way to make it work to no avail. Is there anyone who may know the fix or can assure me that there is no solution. Yout help is greatly appreciated.

1) The location for the Bluetooth Update software for the Tungsten T3 to Support a HP Pavilion dv7 running Vista 64-bit OS.
-im not sure what bluetooth update software you mean in your HP pavillion PC for the T3. if your PC has a builtin bluetooth on it,  you can see the brand/model and version in the device manager.
if there maybe updates that should came from the manufacturer of the bluetooth device. so far there are 3 known drivers/stack for bluetooth that i know: widcomm, toshiba and generic/microsoft stacks.
2) Instructions on updating the Bluetooth settings on the T3 that do NOT involve using the HotSync (since that clearly isn't possible).
-there is no need to update the bluetooth settings of the T3 if you wish to do bluetooth hotsync as latest bluetooth versions available in the market are backwards compatible. so once the bluetooth stack is define, is just a matter of picking up the right settings for the PC and the T3 to communicate and do hotsync or send files and folders via the bluetooth radio.
3) Explanation why Palm is no longer supporting the T3. The website lists the product as mature, not end of life, nor end of support. Just as a note, the T3 is still one of the best and most powerful units it has ever produced.
-palm phones and handhelds has been classified into 4 categories or lifecyles. current, mature, legacy and historical. for mature units, these are units that are no longer sold as new at palm stores and its authorized dealers or retailers. palm are not totally abandoning support for these models although some services and options are no longer available.  you can still do repair and phone support with a fee and free chat support.
4) Explanation why Palm/ACCESS is requiring Palm users to open up their PC's to clear access vulnerabilities via Bluetooth.
-it was indicated in the release of palm desktop 6.2 that windows vista 64bit is not supported. however, there were some who was able to find a workaround and that's bluetooth and wifi sync.
it's optional though as it's the users prerogative to try that workaround if they really wanted to sync their devices to the 64bit vista. so if some people find it too risky to try such workarounds then they simply look for another alternative such as other models or may shift to other manufacturers depending on what's feasible in their part.
5) Explanation why on my previous laptop (HP Pavilion dv6000 running 64-bit Vista) everything worked fine via the USB HotSync.
-in windows vista sync 64bit for mature devices like the T3, it may work in some cases but it is bound to fail since it's not supported as indicated in the release of palm desktop 6.2 which is the only version that will work for windows vista.
