I don't really know if RFCOMM is usable or not, but Android 2.0 source 
(and as of yesterday, 2.1 as well) is released. It runs fine on a Magic 
(HTC-03A). What is missing is the camera/video capture drivers/libraries 
(proprietary). 3G and Wifi work fine, so if you can live without the 
camera, go for 2.0. You can build it yourself or use any of the custom 
roms floating around.

On the other hand, Magics (at least in the US) will receive a 2.0 (2.1?) 
update soon they say. So if you can wait a while, maybe you will get an 
'official' 2.0 ROM. (that doesn't guarantee you RFCOMM, but still...)
