Advantages: Small and Discrete. Easy to install and use. 10m range. Disadvantages: Not as fast as a serial cable or infra-red.
This is a great piece of kit. I bought it so I could transfer files between my phone and computer, but it can be used with any bluetooth device such as a PDA or laptop.
The manual simply explains how to install the dongle and I installed it without any trouble in minutes. The dongle is USB 1.1 compatable and is truely plug and play. You can disable the bluetooth connection in the dongle settings so you don't have to keep disconnecting the adapter from your PC if your worried about someone trying to connect to your computer.
Start using the product, just give your PC a name in the Bluetooth software and any bluetooth device will be able to detect it straight away. The easiest way to transfer files in my opinion is to right-click on a file and select "Send To > Bluetooth Device" You can even highlight multiple files and send them as ...
Advantages: For Blutooth Enabled Devices, 100m Range, Plug & Play Disadvantages: None
designed; it's even smaller than a USB memory stick. You simply plug it in via USB and windows will detect it. It has a small blue LED on it witch flashes when your transferring data.
With the Bluetoothadapter you get drivers and software for your PC. These don't take much space around 10-15MB.

Or you could check for new software update located on the Belkin website and that will fix the issue. Though the new adapters may already have the updated software as I bought this 2 years ago. I thought id mention it just encase you manage to purchase it second hand or get the same version as mine.
Overall the Belkin BluetoothUSBAdapter is a useful device ...
Advantages: Not limited to using on a pc slot can use it on both laptop and desktop pc's. Disadvantages: Can drail battery power.
I bought this to use with my Netgear DG834G router and I must say it's excellent. Not only can I use it on my laptop but as it's usb on desktop computers as well. This makes it handy when I have other people round with there computers I can connect them to my network and give them internet access.
It can do 11mbps and 54mbps and will work on USB 1 but slower.
It comes with a usb extension cable so it can be positioned for best signal. You also get the Netgear version on Wireless conectivity software which you can use instead of the Windows version which is much better, with the Netgear software I picked up a few networks in my areas where as the Windows version only picked up the one. ...
