5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect! And the ONLY ONE that works with Windows Vista out of the box!, June 26, 2007

By	Daniel C. Long (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Unlike *all* the other manufacturers out there who seem to have been blind-sided by the advent of Windows Vista, this Bluetooth transceiver works right out of the box.

Just be aware that their in-box installation documentation needs to be updated and download their latest drivers from their web site. (Trust me, I have done a lot of research, and none of the other manufacturers have so much as Vista drivers!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Works in Vista x64, January 2, 2008

By	Harvey Ramos "Geek" (Springfield, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had to search hi & low for an adapter that would work in Vista x64 (Premium Edition). I was trying to get my Treo 700p to synch (there are no 64bit USB drivers for the Treo). This uses Microsoft's Bluetooth stack (some others install their own) and worked well with both Vista and the Palm hotsync.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, wonderful features, May 13, 2007

By	M. von Pohle "Mike" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

If your considering buying a blue tooth USB adapter, this is one of the best choices you can make for the price. There is also the cheaper version of this product by the same company but with amazon's $25 or more free shipping, this is better deal, price and featurewise. Haven't had any driver issues or anything, simply follow instructions and its up in 5 minutes. Fairly fast data transfer rate, and light as a feather. The only down on this product is having to wait for it to ship. two thumbs up!!
