I finally got the D-Link DBT-120 dongle to work with my 7130e. Here's what I did:

1. Installed the latest Kensington 33348 dongle software/drivers for WIDCOMM (downloadable from kensington.com site under support).

2. In Control Panel, did an Add/Remove of the WIDCOMM software (remove) and rebooted PC.

3. Plugged in D-Link dongle and confgiured it using installed software (listed in device manager as Generic Bluetooth Radio).

4. Followed instructions from RIM knowledgebase http://www.blackberry.com/knowledgec...7250&vernum=13 - pay attention to Step 6.

Works like a charm even though RIM states in the article D-Link is not supported.
