This is kind of disappointing. Am I just doing something wrong? Is this a limitation of the OS or the hardware? Hopefully this will be fixed in the 2006 release if possible.

Having multiple bluetooth connections is definitely possible, but you have to make sure that each connection is using a different rfcomm "port" (/dev/rfcomm0, /dev/rfcomm1, etc., if you're using rfcomm).

Check out the Bluetooth Plugin application (listed in the maemo.org Application Catalog). This should help you administer your multiple bluetooth devices.
