Although the product looks OK and I guess it should work OK, I haven't been able to make it work yet as Belkin has no driver for Pocket PC 2003 yet ! When I contacted the technical support, they said that they had no date for release of a compatible driver !!
Better purchase another bluetooth adapter if you are running Pocket PC 2003.

Yes, the driver and registry update are available for 2003 even though the company that wrote them no longer exists. I have this card working on my Dell Axim X5. It works with my GPS receiver and my laptop. But as has been noted, Dial-Up Networking does not work. [...]

Perhaps at one time someone had a work around for this card but if it's still out there someplace I sure can't find it anywhere any longer in 2008. If your ppc still running 2002 you're fine but Belkin never released a driver for this guy for 2003, supposed to be the same as Dell's truemobile 300 but I've had no luck making it work and on a toshiba e805 your second issue is a bluetooth stack because there doesn't seem to be one built in on the us version of this pda. There are two versions of this card, version 2 has squared corners and that one works with widcomm drivers and stack but this version doesn't. I'm returning it can't find a way to get it working bought a sirf III cf gps instead, a shame because I already have a good bluetooth gps but the american 805 has only wifi no bluetooth...agggh don't believe the other reviews because if the stuff is still out there to make it work I sure can't find it. Buy it on a credit card because this seller makes a secret of his return policy....possibly more to come.

In Aximsite there is a Guide to use this card with PPC 2003 ( named "Bluetooth CF card for $20") and works.. but not all functions.
This is the problem with this solution :
"The PPC denies any other BT device to connect via OBEX and see my files, while the other way around works (yes, I checked all security/encryption checkboxes, nothing works). For example, I can flawlessly connect to a Nokia or Motorola BT phone and see its files, but these phones can't connect on my PPC and see my files.."

This card works well and drivers ARE available for PocketPC 2003 - we sell many of these cards and have had few complaints.

Dell sells this same card as the TrueMobile 300.

I use a driver downloaded from Dell or Philips. It works fine, only is unable to establish bluetooth dial up modem connection.

The Drivers that comes with this unit can only work with PPC 2002 but follow the link below that will give you the step by step instructions on how to install the drivers for PPC 2003.
I use this adapter with my Axim X5 and TomTom Navigator 5 and it works perfectly.

All the best.
