10m is the MAXIMUM range... under ideal conditions... open air, no other radio signals in the area, and full power output.
Everyone who uses BT seems to complain and complain about the range... "range is too short" "I can't go in another room" "I can't leave my phone at home and just bring my headset all the way to work, BT sucks!"... IT WASN'T MEANT FOR LONG RANGE COMMUNICATION... it was meant to replace 3-5ft long cables! Be thankful it can even reach 10ft considering how little power it drains... try plugging in an 802.11b chipset and get your 100ft range... and 15min battery life.
Sorry.. just had to vent...
anyway... BT can realistically hit 15-20ft in a small cafe. 10ft in a busy mall area that's crammed with pico-cells and other people using mobiles.
I've never had any problems with my BT devices... for those of you who have BT USB plugs, it REALLY REALLY helps if you spend for a USB extension cable and mount the BT plug high up like an antenna...away from any metal frames or radio emitting devices.

i get 10m with walls ipaq to phone but only 4m phone to pc. I put this down to the ipaq having an adjustable power output that is up high. the phone is fixed and so is the pc by the looks of it.
