    I have no idea what kind of usb Bluetooth dongle I should be looking for, I
    found a nice 100m class 1 for AU$88, but I'm not sure what device is correct
    for my phone.

    Mobile phone supports bt up to 10m, so it's a waste of money buying a 100m
    dongle, every dongle is the same, but look for the driver software to be
    Widcomm's

    thanks, have you got a brand recommendation, most sale sites don't talk
    about the driver details

    I wouldn't bet my month's salary, but I would say you are not right. If
    the dongle supports 100m, that means it can send a signal up to 100m,
    and read a signal which is 100m. If the phone is able to do send/receive
    in a 10m range, that means in extreme situation, the dongle and phone
    separated by at most 110m distance will still be able to communicate. I
    agree the signal will be very low, but still there.

    I am not 100% sure cause I haven't tried , but heard from people that know a
    bit more than me on cellulars an their bt that it is not possible. If it
    was, it could be a nice way to send sms and files free to all cell phones in
    your neighbourhood, don't you think, and this is not in operator's interest.
    Anyway, regarding the brand of the dongle, I wouldn't know which to suggest,
    I have a no name, but the software is Widcomm's and it works.

    I don't think this is right. I believe the difference is in
    transmit strength only. This means that both ends have to be in the
    100m range class to give the extended range.

    I have a 10m and a 100m dongle from Sitecom. The 100m dongle as an antenna
    (!) at the outside and has a much better range.
