:( That's weird, my Acer dongle (really small, black, with a blue LED) 
always supported everything I threw at it, except for those small 
irregularities I mentioned, like crashing the BT stack every once in a 
while, and not even a blued kill will bring it back to life, only a 
forced restart will do.

As for file transfer from the T610 to the Acer equipped Powerbook... in 
a word, flawless. :\
It always has been the case with the T39, too...

Maybe you're right about the Nokia version, although I've never heard of 
them before... mine came alone in a blue foldable case, a bit thinner 
than an old double-CD case. I ordered them direct from www.gravis.de 
along with 2 more friends and none of us have been having problems; one 
of them uses a T39m, the other uses a Nokia 6510i (only the functions 
supported by OS X).

Best,
