Hi!
I just bought an Anubis Typhoon Bluetooth V1.2 USB adapter, which
according to the product page http://www.typhoon.de/en/art.php?p=838
should have "Main chip - CSR BlueCore", but in reality it is a
Broadcom BCM2035 :-/
It seems to work without problems and without needing to load
firmware, but I'm a little disappointed because I searched a long
time trying to find a bluetooth 1.2 class 1 device with CSR chipset.
Aren't there any manufacturers today who sell CSR based USB dongles?
I'm tempted to return it to the store, but what to buy instead?

Just ordered two from misterbluetooth.com in Berlin for 25? each.
Their web shop is broken, but some minutes after sending the order
via email they phoned me back that they will send it tomorrow and
that I don't have to pay in advance.
Would the Typhoon Dongle be helpful for you?

Now I've bought an Epox BT-DG 03 dongle and it works fine.
But I would like to use the bluefritz!2.0 dongle too.

the version numbers can be corrected with the pskey tool. Check version
and remver PS keys.

You can flash a 128-bit firmware into it, but currently no such firmware
is not available in the public.

Dear Linux Bluetooth users,
I've bought an AVM Bluefritz! V2.0 dongle because AVM has a page that
says that this dongle works with Linux.
This may be true for wireless ISDN/DSL but not for headsets/8khz duplex
audio connections. After pairing I'm stuck.
Well, I've checked the CSR partners page but I haven't found any
interesting vendor there.
I've found some well known like MSI or Samsung but none of them reaches
the quality of AVM ( including 5 year warranty).
MSI sells graphics cards with wrong firmware, mainboards with disabled
USB-Ports and Samsung device always fail ( DVD drive, HDD, DV camera).
I don't trust them.
And of course I like hardware that runs with open source drivers that
don't require any firmware files. E.g. I've bought a Twinhan DVB card
instead of a Avermedia 771. It's all about diversity and choice ;)
snd-bt-sco isn't compatible with Bluefritz but maybe there's someone in
this world who can develop another driver module. I just wonder how this
was done the Windows way ( I don't have Windows).
I'm just a poor apprentice and I know it isn't very attractive if I
donate 50? but I can't give more support :-(
Thanks for reading
Schugy
