I have always found bluetooth devices a little daunting. This USB adaptor installs a lot of software which seems confusing but it all works. I have installed Nokia PC Suite and all my phone information has been synchronised. At todays price of £7.99 it's a steal.

I bought this item to transfer photos from mobile phones onto my computer, which runs Microsoft Vista. Despite some of the negative comments in other reviews, I loaded the relevant drivers from the supplied CD and the Bluetooth adapter has worked first time with various mobile phones (all Nokia, if you are interested). Transfer of photos is fast and reliable.

I installed the software first then connected the bluetooth adapter. I had my laptop paired with a Philips Fisio 820e and configured it to access this mobile phone as a dial up modem. It took about 15 minutes straight out of the box. Over a GSM connection it achieved 9.6kbps which is no great shakes but using data compression and turning off images on your browser, accessing the internet is perfectly feasible if you're not in range of a wireless network, cannot connect to GPRS and all you need is to check your email, do a google search etc. The quick set up user guide is very easy to follow. This is the first bluetooth Belkin product I have purchased and I have to say I'm impressed. Recommended.

Inserted disc into machine and successfully installed device drivers. Rebooted machine as instructed and worked perfectly first time!
well done that dongle!

As with most Belkin products it is extremely reliable and easy to install. I have connected my mobile telephone and downloaded photographs without any hassle.

It is very small but this isn't an issue as you don't want see it when connected to your PC; all you want it to do is to 'do the business', and it does that very well.
