Here is the info from the PDA:

# hcitool info 00:04:3E:A2:2D:C9
Requesting information ...
BD Address: 00:04:3E:A2:2D:C9
Device Name: Pocket_PC
LMP Version: 1.1 (0x1) LMP Subversion: 0x8d
Manufacturer: Telencomm Inc. (18)
Features: 0xff 0xff 0x05 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
<3-slot packets> <5-slot packets> <encryption> <slot offset>

<park state> <RSSI> <channel quality> <SCO link>
<HV2 packets> <HV3 packets> <u-law log> <A-law log>

Actually the dongle (Belkin F8T001) is listed as supported in
http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/devices.html.

However in case I should try to find another dongle, can anyone recommend one
which is properly supported by linux/bluez and has a reasonable range?

Best regards
