The problem is as simple as transmit power. As wikipedia helpfully shows (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth#Uses), class 1 devices can have 40 times the transmit power of class 2 devices, the class 1 connecting to class 2 problem comes down to that past a certain range, the class 2 device does not have a high enough transmit power for its signal to reach the reciever (2.4GHz signals are eaten particularly fast by everything in their path, including air). As i outlined before, the higher transmit power in a class 1 device will come coupled to a higher sensitivity reciever, but that's not going to get you 100m. If you had got the 30-40 metres you were attempting in your original email you would have been extremely lucky. The problem is there are very few phones that come with class 1 bluetooth, 100mW transmit power is a little hard on battery life. If you want a challenge though, find a class1 bluetooth adapter that has a dipole aerial rather than the usual circuit board trace and attach a bigger one.
