Anyways, there are enough howto's on the net relating to setting up bluetooth devices so it barely took me an hour of apt-get and configuration stuff to do all the stuff I wanted to.

[bhaskar!bhaskie:bt]# lsusb Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Plugged it in, compiled the bluetooth modules for the kernel, ran apt-get for a few packages like obexserver, p3nfsd etc, downloaded ussp-push (for the nokia 6600), and with half an hour, i could access the whole file-system of my cellphone. Using konqueror, i can transfer files to and from the phone. I am going to repeat the work on my gentoo system running gnome in a couple of days. Now I can listen to ogg files on the phone, use the phone to control xmms (that's real neat), and finally, access the internet thru a bluetooth access point on my box. putty is available for free, and so is agilemessenger, so its quite a good experience.

The files are roughly around 1.2 MB, and they sound quite ok on the mono headset! I can write a howto if anyone is interested, but I think there are enough on the net, so another one will be redundant. Let me know if you interested in any details however.

These are the type of bluetooth USB dongles you get in the market these days; i am looking for something similar. http://www.nurtec.de/pics/original/865y356.jpg http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B6B0JX.03.LZZZ.jpg Can you tell me the brand, chipset and cost of the dongle you bought? Did you require to patch the kernel, or used the regular stack ? What do you use it for? Even if you have not used it much, at least you can tell whether you had any data transfer or device recognition problems. As I told previously, I need to use it to transfer data to and from mobile phones. Some of the files and applications i need to transfer are 10-15MB size and I want to know if there are any problems with preformance etc. Hope I am clear now.
