Why would this affect your cellphone bill? This device is for DECT phones, not for cell phones. A DECT phone is just an ordinary phone, but without that annoying cord that keeps getting twisted and never seems to be long enough.
Ericsson will discontinue its design and development of new Bluetooth solutions for the semiconductor industry. A dedicated Bluetooth unit will be created to support existing customers. In addition, Bluetooth technology will be offered within Ericsson's offer for mobile platforms.
Ericsson invented the Bluetooth standard, which now is successfully established worldwide. The standard has now reached a mature state and Bluetooth products are being produced in large volumes. However, even though large volumes are manufactured the business case for Ericsson's design of new Bluetooth solutions is not strong enough.
Ericsson has decided to reorganize its Bluetooth operation and the current operation for design and development of Bluetooth solutions, Ericsson Technology Licensing, is going to be discontinued.
Instead, Ericsson will form a dedicated Bluetooth unit to maintain its current customers. The customer list includes several leading semiconductor manufacturers. Ericsson's Bluetooth knowledge will be integrated into Ericsson Mobile Platforms, who will offer Bluetooth software as a part of their offering.
Ericsson strongly believes in the power and opportunities of Bluetooth as a technology and will continue to support the technology as a Bluetooth SIG promoter.

Also, Swedish IT newspaper Computer Swedenquotes Johan Åkesson as saying that '...[Bluetooth] licensing doesn't pay off anymore.' and that future Ericsson efforts will be in Bluetooth software development, in the company Ericsson Mobile Platforms.

In the FAQ they state that: "There is no "Go live license" for this release. That means you cannot publicly deploy any applications you create with the beta. This is for testing and evaluation purposes only."
So, no, you can't develop a commerical product using the Express Editions.
