How do you do OBEX testing?

Heya,

I've been testing and fixing OBEX client and server side bugs for a while, usually in GNOME, but I recently realised how outdated my testing techniques were, relying on what would be described as "legacy" phones[1].

I've asked this question on IRC, but I guess I might not be the only one that needs to test things like this.

So, what do you use for testing ObexFTP, OBEX Push or related protocols like PBAP?

- Adding an additional dongle on your computer and assigning it to a VM?
- Using software on a newer smartphone (seems Android has more of those than the badly rated iOS ones)?
- Another computer? a dumb phone?

I'm looking for something that I could run on a laptop with minimal additional hardware, so any hints would be welcome.

Cheers
