Don't know too much abt dongles.
i know only the best usb dongle in the market $ even popular is "widdcom.
They are reliable .

Like jazzy said,the ones using the widcomm bluetooth stack like MSI,Belkin,TDK should work fine.

if range is an issue (100m compared to 10), make sure you get a class A stick

There is no point in getting a class I dongle (100m) if you are using it with a phone as all the phones are class II (10m) so you would still have to be no more than 10m apart for the two devices to handshake.
You can pick up a bluetooth dongle from Computerworld in the high street for £15.
