I just scrounged up a couple USB Bluetooth dongles from Belkin (refurbs & 50% off, courtesy of T*chbargains.com).

Finally got my Tungsten T configured to dial my T68i via Bluetooth, it's a hoot to hand my phone to someone & dial it remotely while it's in their hand... Still haven't found a killer price on a bluetooth headset...

Have used the Blueboard a little with another guy's Tungsten.

Anyone else using Bluetooth networking yet, & what are you doing with it?

I use it to connect my Nokia 6310i to my laptop. No need for cables or IR, the phone can be in my pocket all the time. And the range is good (like 10-20 meters).

I love it :D

I'm using Microsoft Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse in my Home Theater. It's awesome and I've yet to have any problems with it.

I'm using a Kyocera 7135 with a bluetooth adapter. I use it to chat at work and also print.
 

I use it to sync my phone. Pretty cool because the phone can be in my jacket pocket and I can sync and send faxes from it.

Not well at all. At work, we tried setting up a bluetooth printer, and it wouldn't even work in the next room. It works well as long as you're in the same room though, which we did for another client. Then again, these are huge multi-million dollar homes in Beverly Hills that probably have walls that could survive a nuclear attack :p
