I admit, I have a bluetooth headset for my phones and I like it. Headsets are the one standard in bluetooth that seems to be implemented consistently.
I have 5 devices I have used recently, a Treo 650, Treo 700p, Tmobile Dash (HTC S620), Blackberry 8700g and a Blackberry 8300. ALL of them have different bluetooth profiles. ALL of them will do phone as a modem via USB. The Treo 650/700 need a wing and a prayer to get working via bluetooth - it is implemented so poorly on these devices that regular resets are required. The Tmobile Dash is the most stable of them all, it creates a PAN (personal area network) over bluetooth - this is the CLEANEST and most straight forward connect of any and it works the same on Windows and MAC OS X - I've tried it on Linux and gave up after 6 beers and 43 new swear word combinations.
The Blackberry 8700 won't do phone as a modem over bluetooth -why, I don't know. The 8300 will do it, but again it was very cumbersome and I always had to reset something - it never just worked.
