Every BT USB dongle
I've touched (so far two. of which one is the one Cellcom sells) worked
flawlessly under Linux. never had problems using BT.
My tip - get the
cheepest one. They're all the same.

The problem was not with the distance, but with the frequencies. BT used
frequencies previously used by IDF, so it was illegal (and distance).
Now these freqs are open for BT devices, which, in turn, can reach 100M.
I don't want to start a war, but who's right, you or Geoffrey S. Mendelson who
wrote that it's illegal?
And if it is legal, I'm back to my original questions - mainly, can anyone
recommend a dongle that is known to work in Israel.
Actually, the 10M reach up to 5-7M without disturbances, so I tend to
believe the 100M gets to be shorter than that.
I don't really care about the distance since as I say, it would be used for
hotsyncing at home and 1 or 2 meters is good enough. As I already wrote, at a
very short range, I don't see a security problem because the potential hacker
would have to be in the room with me.
