Electronics : USB Bluetooth Dongle Adapter 10M |
- Stereo headsets won't work with thisThe bluesoleil software that comes with the dongle is an unlicensed version and requires you to pay an additional 20 Ero to get it to work with a stereo headset.

- What about the drivers?My complaint is that when you install the bluesoleil software that comes with the disk, it is an unlicensed version and requires you to pay an additional 20 Ero to get it to work with a stero headset on Vista. Very disappointing. If your going to sell a product and have it come with software, the software should be fully licensed!

- Excellant bluetooth device for Linux tooI run Fedora core 8 on my lenovo t60. This dongle works out of the box very well. I didn't have to hunt for drivers. Discovering devices works (this tests interoperability with other devices). File transfer at very reasonable speeds (350kb files in under 30-40 seconds). I am very satisfied with this product. Hence the 5-star rating to this dongle.

- It works easily and an excellent priceI have a Samsung BEAT cell phone. For a week or so, I had been trying to figure out how to use it as a modem to connect my PC to the internet. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get it to work using the phone's data cable. I noticed that Dial Up Network is listed as a Bluetooth feature on this phone, so I decided to give that a shot.
I went to Best Buy and the only USB Bluetooth adapter in stock was $39.99. I checked Amazon and decided to try this instead, since my order would be under $10 including shipping. I ordered on 07/13/2008, and the package was in my PO Box on 07/17/2008. I picked it up at about 4pm, and my PC was on the new Bluetooth DUN internet connection by 5:30. The only difficulties I ran into were configuring the setup do dial the correct number (#99* for me), and directing my web browser to use the TMobile proxy server address (216.155.165.50 port: 8080). Note: with TMobile, you also have to have their data package on your acount for this to work.
Using this adapter with the included software, I am also able to transfer files between my phone and computer. Other features are supported, but I have not used them.
As for the item itself, it is pretty small, so just be careful not to lose it. This shouldn't be a problem for me, since it just stays plugged into the back of the computer.
Overall, it's one of the best tech buys I've made in a long time. I can't give less than 5 stars because the ordering, shipping, and product performance have been flawless to this point. I will update this if any issues come up.

- Completely incompatile with VistaVista will not work with this. You can move files from your phone to your computer, but not the other way around whatsoever. Don't waste the money.
