I don't know about the TG50 but...

Class 3 Bluetooth devices have a range of 3 to 5 feet, Class 2 have about 33 feet, and Class 1 Bluetooth devices can have a range equivalent to 802.11b, at a real world 300 to 500 feet. Class 3 devices draw a minimum of current and along with built-in power savings techniques; Bluetooth devices will have a much lower battery drain for portable computers and PDA’s than 802.11(x) circuits have. This is a huge advantage.
