[QUOTE="cheetah05, post: 247995, member: 19628"] See I have learnt that the services are totally dependant on the bluetooth software on the device that is bluetooth enabled (in this case a computer)......and in the case of the of the Phone, it would be the phone software. ...so therefore it doesn't matter what bluetooth dongle you have, the services you can use are dependant on the software installed on the pc. To demonstrate this, if you installed a Bluetooth stack such as BlueSoleil (bloatware - i [b]dont[/b] suggest installing this), you would be able to use the LAN service. There is a bluetooth stack called WidComm (or Broadcomm - one company took over another...so not exactly sure which one its called). This stack is an extension of the microsoft stack and works "ontop" of it providing extra bluetooth profiles. This is what i use, and if your dongle/bluetooth works with the microsoft stack, i suggest you try the widcomm stack, although it may not work if it is not officially supported.
