Unfortunatly I'm in the uk and the shipping would be 5x price of dongle.
I'm really looking for a make model that works, but thanks anyway

@CyCLoBoTI'm using MSI USB adapter (I believe its MSI Starkey) and it works right OOB. I am currently running 10.5.8.

Do you know what chipset it uses?

Author Update #4 @Ianxxx 2009-09-14

I'm sure someone must have a bluetooth dongle that works?

The only one I can find is linksys USBBT100 as listed on HCL 10.6.1 - OSx86

Author Update #5 @Ianxxx 2009-10-10
