Bluetooth cards like - Billionton or Techcomm (Widcomm) USB (also see http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Compatible_Bluetooth_Devices) cards among others, work fine with the Linux bluetooth stack. When it comes to 'pairing' the two Bluetooth devices, there is usually no problem. However, when the Nokia PC Suite is used and you select 'Bluetooth' as the connection type, it offers 'Bluetooth(Microsoft)' as the Bluetooth stack. This is an issue in most cases even on Windows XP. For Linux I would suggest that you give a try with BlueZ bluetooth stack that ships with recent distros. If you are inclined to hack and poke around, take a look at http://pramode.net/articles/lfy/mobile/pramode.html and http://www.bluez.org/ Let us know how it goes. thanks Saifi.
