BBHub reader Scott Kane is not able to come up with an explanation of why a series of BlackBerrys he has used all seem to totally lose their Bluetooth connection in his automobiles.

"I have had problems with the 7100, 7105, 7290, 8700, and now 8100 all dropping my Bluetooth connection in my car," Scott tells us.

He adds that his vehicle has a U-Connect from DaimlerChrysler factory installed. Not only has it been happening in five different cars and five different BlackBerrys.

By now, the first indications of a failure are familiar to Scott. He says that while the BlackBerry Bluetooth connection is fine and reliable at first, then before long then the BlackBerry starts showing "connection to U-Connect lost."

Removing the battery and then placing it back in provides temporary relief. But do you agree with Scott and me that constantly having to do this is a pain?

"At first I thought it to be the car," he writes. "But now that I've been through 3 cars and countless BlackBerry devices I think the problem lies in the BlackBerry."

Readers, have you had similar experiences?

Early this morning a friend emailed me this question:

If you are using an internet (IMAP) account along with BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service), do the messages deleted or marked read or replied get marked read/replied or deleted back to the original IMAP server?

Say for example, would "Read" mail be marked as read/replied or deleted on the BlackBerry. My friend said he wanted to know because it would help him make his purchase decision.

Well, we have some answers.

IMAP Messages deleted on the BlackBerry are automatically deleted from your source mailbox. However, when messages are automatically deleted from the source mailbox, they may be moved to a Deleted folder, or they may be permanently deleted. That all depends on the account type and server settings for your account. But be assured that messages deleted from the source mailbox are not automatically deleted from the BB.

However, it is also important to note that Messages marked as read / unread on the handheld are automatically marked as read / unread at the source mailbox.

You might also want to know about Sent messages.

Messages sent from the BlackBerry are automatically copied to the Sent folder at the source mailbox. For IMAP accounts- depending on the name of the folder where your sent items are stored- sent items are copied to the source mailbox for many (but not all) IMAP servers.

But you do have a CYA. I recommend that you consider it.

If you are unsure about whether or not these messages are being copied, you have the option of using the Auto BCC feature to copy your Sent items from the handheld to your source mailbox.

We haven't had a bad couple of weeks at BBHub. We've been among the first- and in some cases, the first- to bring you details and photos of the BlackBerry 8100 Pearl- specs, pix (outside and inside) and release dates. We've also broken some news about exciting patents that point to some added functionality in current as well as forthcoming BlackBerry devices.

When it comes to major news, we haven't missed a beat. OK, maybe one or two.but hopefully nothing major.

But as you have been noticing our never-ceasing dedication to important BlackBerry news, you may have been picking up on the fact that posting has been a bit light here of late.

To that, I take you into my world of personal relocation from one residence to another. If you have ever been there, I am sure you are well aware of the many demands on time, as well as the pure logistics of getting the move to go smoothly. Tape measures, packing boxes, utility-related arrangements (and a now-solved glitch or three with that).

And for those of you who care to understand, sometimes relocates are not devoid of interpersonal dynamics.

I'm now in my new abode- and in conjunction with the move, I am migrating more than 140 gigabytes of files from my old PC to a new one I have just bought. These moves can involve glitches and workarounds- thanks to my BlackBerry I have been able to stay in touch with our readers.

Me and my techs assure me everything will be cool PC-migration-wise by the end of this week. At that point, it will be full speed ahead with the many, topically varied diet of posts you have come to expect from me each day.

But that's not all, readers. I have been in conversations with some additional BBHub blogger candidates- some whom you will instantly recognize. When we staff up, we'll be adding additional features such as BlackBerry device and software reviews, as well as more problem-solving tips.

Can't wait for you to see what we'll be doing here. Meanwhile, the summer is starting to go- work hard, play hard (but responsibly)!

I've been doing the vision thing lately, thinking of additional features we could add to BBHub. In coming weeks, we will be developing ways to convert those visions into reality.

This Hub's for you, so feed me ideas! More third-party software reviews, tech advice, BlackBerry advice reviews, podcasts, etc?

Rock out and feed me some ideas!
