Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter

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.

Advantages: Small, Sleek, Connects to Phones, Good Coverage, Slim, fast, easy install
Disadvantages: Cap can get lost as it is quite small

Useful Blutooth Adapter

Advantages: For Blutooth Enabled Devices, 100m Range, Plug & Play
Disadvantages: None

The Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter is very useful technology which you simply plug into your USB slot. I actually got this about 2 years ago because I wanted to transfer photos and videos from my mobile phone to my PC and I didn't have a mobile phone cable to connect to the PC. So this was ideal rather than purchasing a cable which would have cost the same, but with this I can use it for other Bluetooth enabled devices such as my PDA or Laptop. Main features: - Bluetooth connection capability via USB - Works with any device which is Bluetooth enabled - Has built in security using 128-bit encryption and authentication, allowing you to securely access any Bluetooth device without wires - Easy installation with Plug-and-Play convenience - Allows you to connect at a range of up to 100 meters The Bluetooth adapter is well ...
