I am looking for a bluetooth dongle that has good support in linux.
I have a Tecom BT3030, that is on the list, but cant get it to work properly, and it seems like alot of pepole have problems with this unit.

So can someone recommend a well supported dongle? (to be used with mobile phones...)

(Execuse my english)

I once borrowed a MSI PC2PC (also in the list you posted), and had no trouble getting it to work (i.e. doing some file transfer between my mobile phone and my desktop box). I haven't tested it exhaustively, though...

I have an Anycom USB-200. The latest firmware upgrade broke it on Linux, but a helpful person on Anycom's support forums
came up with a fix. See https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-506162.html.

I'm using it with my mobile phone and gnome phone manager (gammu/wammu seems broken, and xgnokii has never worked for me - it
starts up briefly and then exits). Also, I don't seem to have bt support in nautilus.
