I was looking for the 100meter version but was told by someone at BB it doesn't matter because the client device (bluetooth headset) does not have the power to broadcast 100meters. So I looked around and decided on this one from Eforcity. Main reason is that I didn't want to deal with older versions of the bluetooth specs. I use this on my laptop to connect to my Moto bluetooth headset so that I can talk on skype wirelessly. Eforcity shipped quickly and packaged well. They use to sell the 100meter version but I'm told they only carry this 10meter version because its Bluetooth 2.0.

I can walk to the other end of the library and still carry converstation, about 50feet.

I 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.

Amazon Verified Purchase

I received a GTMax Bluetooth Dongle USB Adapter for Verizon Motorola Droid A855 CDMA Cell Phone and not the one made by EDR. In contrast to "EDR" products, the product and the packaging lack any manufacturer address or contact info. There is no warranty information anywhere in the package. Worst of all, no software was provided with the product. I intended to use the device for stereo audio mostly. The default Windows XP bluetooth driver provides no functionality besides just recognizing the presence of the device. "GT Max" has no website that could be used to download the required software to make the device operate. In short, the experience was not a good one. The plus in the whole affair is that the vendor, BargainCell did ship immediately and I received the product quickly. It is beyond monetary reason to return this product to the vendor for a refund due to the cost of the required 'trackable' shipping that must be paid by the customer.
