But it could be worse... you could be required to buy a proprietary dongle for a BT module that doesn't even work... like some other F/E's.

They may indeed work. I used to work with a few Broadcomm based dongles and they required a special firmware upload (via Broadcomm software only of course). That may not be the case anymore. I know that CSR based dongles will work for sure. We will find out more info on range of devices supported and get it out to you.

Yeah unfortunately it still works that way. Supposedly, the drivers are locked to whatever specific dongle you buy that it comes with, and the only way to update them is to either hope that the website of the dongle manufacturer posts updated drivers (Belkin is very good at posting the latest and greatest on asap basis) or updating through Broadcom the way you said, and that only works half the time. But it's all good because I'd be happy to get away from Broadcom. Their stack seems to offer the most BT services, but for my purposes at this point, I only care about a working handsfree solution. If the D-Link works flawlessly for you, then the D-Link I will be purchasing.
