I want to make my computer bluetooth accessible.

Is it as simple as buying a little bluetooth USB dongle, and be done with it? If so, what do I need to look for as far as the newest revision of Bluetooth is concerned? I see these things go for $10 or $15 on eBay. Is that the typical going price? Is it really that cheap?

I'm just looking to be able to hook up my cell phone to the PC without wires. Thanks.

I just installed a USB bluetooth adapter. They have a bunch of them here.

Caution, be prepared for long boot times once the adaper is installed. My computer starts running the bluetooth network wizard in the background on boot and it takes forever even if its not actually tring to pair with my Audiovox XV6600.
