I'll will have to get a bluetooth dongle.

I do not need the sync for mail and adresses but only for programm
installation (if I only get an *.exe) and file transfer.
I think, I will habe to do this with the SD-card. I do not like a cloud.
Anyway I'm looking for a new PDA, but there are only smartphones left.
I want a device, which does not only show apps, but has a real file
explorer and allows to change configurations.
As far as I know, none of the new operation systems supports this, the
nearest ist android IMO.
