Home > Consumer Reviews > Bluetooth CLASS2 Mini Adapter Plug-n-play 10 Range

So I got a nice new computer with Vista 64 Home edition...of course I had all kinds of problems with drivers and some of my old programs not working...a real pain. I needed bluetooth to hook up my Blackberry to run it as a modem wirelessly, and so I got this dongle based on the reviews. I so much appreciate peopel who take the time to fill these things in because it really helps me to make up my mind. Anyways, I am guilty of using reviews but not contributing. I was so impressed with this product that I felt obliged to write. Here is the whole story: I open the package, plug it in, wait about 7 seconds...I now have bluetooth. And that is the whole story. No quirks, no mess, just easy, plug-and-play like it should be. Took me ALOT longer to actually get my Blackberry hooked up, but that's Blackberry's fault, not this amazing little device. Internet through Sprint is as fast as with a USB hookup. HIGHLY recommended.

I ordered this BT dongle after trying similar items from Targus and Kensington (Widcommm / Broadcomm). While those devices work OK with Vista, I could not get them to pair up my Toshiba tablet running XP SP3 and my Canon mobile iP100 printer - tried for 2 days. When this arrived (after 1 day!!! using Super Saver) I removed the proprietary Widcomm drivers and the Toshiba Stack Bluetooth driver from my tablet PC, then plugged this in - it installed itself absolutley no problem, and immediately recognized and linked with my printer.It sticks out a little further than the Targus / Kensington dongle, but still small enough to stay out of the way and leave in. Worked at about 10ft, didn't try further. I highly recommend this to anyone who doesn't have built in BT, especially given the $20 price.
