I have decided to go with Linksys. Mine is a Class 1 dongle Model USBBT100. Setup was very easy as well as configuration. I bought it for work since my office area does not have wifi. Connection is very easy with my h2215. I was able to share files and sync via BT.

My situation almost exactly mirrors yours. I am installing the wireless access on my work PC (running W2K Pro). I am actually avoiding WiFi since I know that would require tremendous amounts of IT department red tape and the first major network problem my WiFi AP will be blamed, right or wrong. I need LAN access for net surfing and file sharing and Bluetooth seems like a very elegant solution to me. Plus several of my colleagues already use BT headsets so I am not too worried about security issues.
Once I get the iPag/PC connection up and running I hope to add the Logitech diNovo Bluetooth desktop to my piconet when I can find the right price (I am a sucker for Italian style).
I will look for Linksys, as I know they are available in my neck of the woods (Israel).
Thanks for the advice and the moral support. I have seen so many posts on Brighthand and PPC Thoughts describing BT horror stories I was beginning to feel discouraged. It hasn;t shaken my desire for the 2210, however. I have the money for the 4150 but I would rather trade the wifi for the CF slot...especially since I can always add the wifi later with a CF card.
