I just got my hands on one of these to test. So far, I've hooked it up with a Sony VGN-S270P Vaio laptop with built-in bluetooth. The pairing was simple enough. I went into Windows XP Control Panel and ran the bluetooth discovery utility. The Vaio and mouse paired up just fine without using a passkey. I then proceeded to test the reliability of the mouse from different computer states, including from a cold boot, from standby, and from just walking away for a few minutes and coming back. From cold boot and standby, the computer takes a couple extra seconds to connect to the mouse once the computer is completely booted up. Even from idle, it takes a split second to recognize the mouse movements. I've got a few more tests to run. I'll report more later...
UPDATE: This mouse works great...for desktops. If you're looking for a portable mouse to use with a laptop and you plan to travel with it often, then I would not use this mouse. The characteristics of stability and solidness comes from the size of this mouse. Yet, the size of this mouse also prevents it from being the light, portable mouse that it should be. Coupled with the lack of a switch to power it down, this is not a bluetooth mouse designed for travel.
I have also had a chance to try out the Kensington Bluetooth PilotMouse. Check it out what I have to say about it at the end of March.
