This card does not, and I will repeat, DOES NOT, work as a common customer would expect it to. It will NOT run with any built in bluetooth software (i.e. Windows Bluetooth functionality) Instead it utilizes a BlueSolei software package that does not offer the same functionality as a name brand bluetooth card (which supports the in house software). This is a textbook case of cheap, quick manufactured technology pawned off on unsuspecting customers that believe they are getting a bargain. Notice how there is no company name behind this product (i.e. Linksys, Belkin, MSI, etc) Do yourself a favor- pay the extra amount for a quality product that offers support for their customers. You will have more success with drivers for multiple versions of the operating system you will use and also have access to fully functioning software. Do not buy this product, Do some research. Do not be fooled by a bargain priced item.

Good news:
- The price was great and the shipping was amazingly fast.
- It worked on XP with my Bluetooth Wacom graphics tablet.
- It's available in several colors. The dark blue looks nice.

Bad news:
- It didn't work quite right on XP with my Razr cell phone; it cut off photo transfers, so they only came through partially.
- Although it's available in several colors, there doesn't appear to be a way to select a color. They sent me the dark blue.

No news:
- I haven't tested it on Vista, because nothing seems to work quite right there. Another reviewer said it does, so I'll have to give it a try.

I bought this item for use with a Wacom Graphire tablet. However, it turns out it can't handle the data rate for pressure sensitivity. The tablet/pen combination works, but only like a non-pressure-sensitive mouse.

The product otherwise worked well right out of the box, but had I known its bandwidth limitation, I'd have never bought it. The feature listing that says it complies with Bluetooth 2.0 is incorrect--if you look under "See more technical details," next to "standards compliance" it lists only Bluetooth 1.2. Even though it was such an inexpensive item, this kind of thing just burns me up. You get what you pay for in this case.

Works fine with my Windows XP notebook. NO compatibility issues whatsoever. Reasonably fast data transfer. And you really CAN'T beat the price.

The BlueSoleil software that is included is outdated and does not work with Samsung's PCStudio (3.11) software for my cellphone. Upgraded to current BlueSoleil but this item is not licensed to use it.

It was inexepensive, looks good, and works fine. It just doesn't play nice with the software I needed it for.

I wanted it to send and receive items to my cell and it works. It was a little difficult to figure out @ 1st but once you get it going it does the job. It shipped to my house in 3 days which was very fast. The best thing of all.....it works with Vista!! You just can't get a better deal.

I never could get it to work, so it turned out to be a total waste of money. I ended up buying a dlink that worked as soon as I plugged it in.

product just arrived!
Whats inside the package: Installation mini-cd, Bluetooth USB Adapter

Was very simple to install on my WinXP machine. Package indicates it supports WinVista will try that out later on my nephew's pc. Ran the program that was installed and turned my phone's bluetooth on "find me" mode. In the progam simply clicked "My Bluetooth" and 'Bluetooth Device Discovery', it found my phone within 5 seconds. Paired the program with my device and it asked my permission on my phone. Gave it permission and it asked me for a code, I input a code that I just made up and then the program asked for the same code. This code helps prevent others from interfacing with the program when I have it on. Once it accepted the code I merely clicked on "Bluetooth file transfer service", the program then opened an windows explorer type folder listing all the folders I have on my phone. I was then able copy and paste stuff (images, ringtones, music) directly into that folder and it was then on my phone.

It really couldnt have been simpler. I literally was able to get rintones from my computer to my phone using this product within 5 minutes from opening the package.

In closing, great product, great price, would recommend to anyone looking for a Bluetooth USB Adapter to transfer stuff from their pc to their phone. It also works with Bluetooth 2.0 devices so I can listen to music on my pc with my bluetooth headset with ease.

This item does in fact work on Windows Vista without any problems what so ever.

The software included on the disk is completely a waste of time to install. Instead get Widdcomm bluetooth drivers. Do a google search get the 5+ version with a crack and follow the instructions to install.

The dongle will now work like any other dongle and it uses the winodws software for handling bluetooth. No need for crappy software that wont support your device or spending more than you half to for a quality product.

I got this in the mail, plugged it in, and dmesg showed a new active bluetooth device! I was surprised that for 3 bucks this worked. I'm currently running Fedora 7 with the latest updates. Works with my wiimote using the cwiid driver and can pair my phone (the only two bt devices I have).

I highly recommend this for the price!
