A bit OT, but I tried that on my Sony Picturebook (C1VFK) and got
=====================================
tim@william ~]$ sudo hciconfig hci0 revision
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 08:00:46:21:58:29 ACL MTU: 128:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
Build 66
Chip version: BlueCore01b (ES)
=====================================

I guess that means the chip in the in-built Bluetooth is pre-pre-historic.

Is there any hope of upgrading in such a case?
Eg could upgrading the BIOS upgrade the BT chip too?

It's really only an academic question,
as Bluez/gnokii are perfectly able for what I want.
