Connects fine to my Motorola V3, HP iPaq h6315, Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headset. However it requires CD software to manage its connection unlike my old Bluetooth dongle. Its reception also drops quickly as you are moving away from it.

Ownership verified by DX Nice deal
Posted by Diejon on 3/9/2009
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Price: starstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: Nice looking, its not that small like the popular dongle so you can see it good and its easy-to-use.
Also there is a green light indicator when the Dongle is active thats a big pro for me..

Cons: You cant sent mulitple files at once to the dongle. You have to do it single handed one by one.

Other Thoughts: There is a instalation CD-Rom included but i didnt had to use it because when i plugged my dongle in my computer it instals itself.

Bottomline: Nice dongle for a nice price but there are better dongles on DX. For this money its a nice one!

Pros: Pros: Nice shape, Not too small (like other gadgets) which is good if you plan on using it on a long term(meaning that you can't loose it that easy).
I've been using it with my HP (windows OS so far,but I suppose it works under Linux also) with a bluetooth device (cell phone). Haven't had any problems with it so far.

Cons: none yet

Other Thoughts: I had to download the BlueSoleil software separately, as the miniCD that came with the package had errors. Except from that, my cell phone works great with this device.

Bottomline: It's a good device and the price is great. In my opinion this is good to have around even if you don't plan on using it right away. For this kind of money one should definitely get it.

Pros: A decent, low-priced usb bluetooth stick. Just does what it is supposed to do.
Eventually works with Vista.

Cons: It does not use a standard chip: Windows Vista had to grab some drivers from Windows Update for it to work, instead of Broadcom-based bluetooth sticks that do work out of the box.

Other Thoughts: The cd that came with the stick came completely shattered. Stick looked a bit worn-off (scratches etc) but works fine nevertheless.

Bottomline: I would certainly recommend it. Value for money. In the Netherlands you would have a hard time getting a cheaper one.

Pros: - This dongle is very small! There are some dongles wich are smaller but I'm sure I'll lose em.
- Works with my SciPhone i68+
- Ultra cheap, on local stores they would sell for something like 13$
- Fast transfers, not the best but pretty good.

Cons: - Drivers are outdated but you can always Google for it.
- Build quality is suspicious but it won't break unless you dont throw it off your window ;)

Other Thoughts: Range is reasonable, but hey, why do you need some long-range bluetooth dongle for your cellphone?

Bottomline: Buy it, for this price this is the best dongle you will get. Works good on Windows XP, even with the outdated drivers.
