Thanks! As per your tip, I got the 'Enter' bluetooth device. Rates appear to have gone up and the lowest price I got was 225/- from Benley's Infotech in Tara Temple Lane in Lam. Road. Everyone else quotes from 250/- to 350/-.
The device works in Linux and after some trial and error, got KDEbluetooth working. My phones get detected and even some folders and music files are visible but image folders show no files.
Looks like I will have to do some more R&D on the software side.
I might buy one dongle too if a new phone I'm planning to buy is not compatible with *nix or *nix refuses to mount/recognise it.
Just one question: Where do you plug it in?Into the USB slot?
