OBi202 supports two OBiBT dongles?
giqcass:
I tested my BT adapter with the hub Sherman recommended. It was less the $8.

I have my BT plugged in and a USB drive. Works just fine and 4 ports available.
I do have a cheap off brand hub also. I can confirm that one has an occasional hiccup connected to my Mac. I did not test it with my OBi.

So... it doesn't appear to be ready for prime time. Perhaps it will be usable in the the next firmware release.
The OBi202 does recognize both dongles. If you try to pair a phone with both dongles connected (*28), the disembodied voice tells you you can only do that with one connected. Unplugging one allows me to pair one phone, then I swapped OBiBT dongles and do the other.
The problem is, connecting one cellphone disconnects the other. OBiBT dongle 1 has a 'BindingService' listed as 'BT1 (OBiBLueTooth 1 Service)', but unfortunately the same binding service is also assigned to OBiBT dongle 2. I'm assuming there will be a 'BT2' service at some point. Perhaps there already is, but all the kinks haven't been ironed out yet.
Both paired phones are listed on OBiBT dongle 1 as well, even though I went out of my way to pair with the two dongles individually.
The OBiTalk web interface still only shows one bluetooth service, too. You have to go to the device's own webserver to discover otherwise.
So I suspect this is something they're working on, but haven't made any noise about because it's not ready yet.

p.s. If anyone from OBiHai is reading this, I'd be happy to be a beta tester. My background: http://about.me/paul.chambers

PaulC,
Now that we have been introduced, can I get a discount on a Nokia. My Nokia N95 is starting to look long in the tooth. :)
giqcass:
Did you try to pair using the direct interface on the Obi?
PaulC:
I tried a bunch of combinations, not sure if I did try that one. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.
