Acer bluetooth dongle?

Advantages: Great for downloading pics from the phone
Disadvantages: None? yet.

...Another offering from the old Acer range adds to my collection (I expect a discount next time!!), Are you reading this Acer?!! Jeez who chooses these names, ha, dongle, sounds like something that hangs from a dog?s hairy ass? I recently got my first picture messaging, video (with sound) mobile phone, The thing is great, took loads of pics? and soon built up a large collection of short video clips and bucket loads of stills. After a short while I started to wonder what I could do with all this nice little collection that I?d built up. Sent quite a few to some mates (at 40p a go, ouch!). Didn?t have a card reader, but considered buying one. My printer also doesn?t accept memory cards to be read for photo processing. So was looking for a cheap way out of my situation. Enter the Acer USB Bluetooth dongle ( ha-ha), sorry , wish they...

Review of Acer Bluetooth USB Dongle

Usefull Dongle

Advantages: Price, Convenience, speed, size, usefulness
Disadvantages: Range from parent device

...Working in IT and using many peripherals like printer’s scanners and external drives you soon find you have lots of leads filling up valuable space and taking up USB ports. To cut down on this I decided to try a dongle, mainly to connect my mobile phone and PDA so I didn’t have to get down on my hands and knees to plug in leads. The dongle can also be used on the hop with a laptop and is designed for Mobile use, tested for compatibility with all current Bluetooth mobile phones. USB Bluetooth 1.2 Dongle is very reliable and quite fast it moves data at a high rate of kilobytes per second. The dongle allows you to connect your PC/laptop/PDA to your Bluetooth mobile phone, where you can transfer files, Download & send emails, surf the net and mainly for me synchronise contacts/calendar. You can also backup your...

Review of Belkin Bluetooth Dongle

Bluetooth dongles that work in XP SP2

Advantages: Works with no hassle in Windows XP SP2
Disadvantages: None

...We have two of these at work which we use for Bluetooth development. Both adaptors are fully Bluetooth 2.0 compatible and support the following profiles: Object Push, File Transfer, Personal Area Network, Advanced Audio (Music Streaming), Audio Remote Control. Unlike the previous Belkin Bluetooth modules, the software supplied with these dongles works perfectly within Windows XP SP2! No hacking is required and with this dongle/software, you don\'t have to use Microsoft\'s Bluetooth stack. Software installation is very easy, insert the CD, follow the instructions and that\'s about it. After installation is complete, finding other devices, pairing and exchanging data is very easy. We\'re using the two dongles to create a personal area network between 2 computes. 1 computer has an internet connection which is being shared. We...

Review of Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter

Belkin Bluetooth Adaptor

Advantages: Small, quick to connect to devices like mobiles and pda's. Good value for money.
Disadvantages: You must read the instruction manual well to set it up properly.

...I purchased this product just after Christmas and so far, I have not had any problems with it. The first thing I must say, is that you MUST make sure that you read the instruction manual before doing anything else. From my experience, if your computer has windows xp and 'service pack 2' installed (usually automatically added when connected to the internet). Then you must install the software first and before plugging it in! Once you have set up the bluetooth adaptor onto your computer (this took me around quarter of an hour) it truly is a marvellous piece of kit. Personally, I bought the Belkin Bluetooth adaptor for several reasons: 1) It works with basically all programmes needing a bluetooth dongle. 2) To connect my bluetooth mobile phone to my laptop so that I could store data (pictures etc.) and copy over appointments...

Review of Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter

Baby Bluetooth

Advantages: BTv1.2 better for voice, Tiny, very small and did I mention diminutive
Disadvantages: Err...cap can drop off...does that count?

...I bought this bluetooth (BT) device so I could connect my notepad to my mobile phone (SonyEricsson K750i) wirelessly; quick summary:I've had it 6 months and it works a treat. My version is Part # F8T009uk, which is the enhanced BTv1.2 version. It looks identical to the v1.1 version so watch out if you want the improved voice features apparently offered by v1.2 as some shops may try and flog you their old stock. I got lucky on this front as I originally ordered this kit from Amazon but it was out of stock, so I cancelled. Next day I just happened to see that the new version had come out and so picked that up in PCWorld at the same price as Amazon (14.99 GBP). Opinion: This thing is TINY! I have used USB dongles before for such things as a USB 54g connection and this is the smallest thing yet (it actually looks bigger on screen...

Bluetooth advantages

Advantages: Small

Review of Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter

I've got that BLUE feeling

Advantages: small,cheap,flexible uses
Disadvantages: setup on windows

...Introduction- Well if you've never heard of Bluetooth then you must have been on another planet. Bluetooth is a wireless connection protocol for short-range connection or in English. It is a way of wirelessly connecting devices for the means of communicating at ranges of up to 200m depending on you location. The main feature of Bluetooth is that no matter which companies product has Bluetooth you can connect with another Bluetooth product regardless of who makes it. Why a Bluetooth dongle- Well a Bluetooth dongle is a device that allows you to add Bluetooth connectivity on a non-Bluetooth device like a PC or laptop. It does this by plugging into one of the USB ports on your computer. Ease of use- The hardest part I found to using this was getting the dongle (this is...

Review of Videk Bluetooth USB Dongle UB1200 Class 2

Long in the (Blue)tooth

Advantages: 100m Range, Compact Design, Great Software
Disadvantages: Price

...Bluetooth is one of those "nearly" technologies. You know the ones, they promise to change the way we live and they nearly deliver. In the case of Bluetooth, the claims were for a wireless "Personal Area Network" that would link up all of your electronic devices and allow them to work in harmony with anything else that you came into range of. It was on this promise of an easier, automated way of life that I bought my Belkin Bluetooth widget. Measuring barely 70mm x 20mm x 6mm it's a compact, slimline design that doesn't hog too much space either side of your USB port, meaning you can still use the port next to it should you need to. It doesn't stick out too far from the USB port either, and so doesn't snag too often which is particularly important if you are using it with a laptop! The single LED (blue, obviously) flashes...

Review of Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter

Belkin Bluetooth = Beautiful

Advantages: Tiny, LED, Protective Cap
Disadvantages: Annoying features installed

...After I purchased my new phone (Nokia 6230i) I needed to be able to transfer info between my phone and my PC, so I headed out to my local comet and picked this up for £10.99. This tiny Adapter (better known as a Dongle) has a USB socket under a protective cap which plugs into any PC or Laptop. It is USB 2.0, but also supports USB 1.1 on older PC's and has a range of 10meters. Bluetooth is a way of communicating wirelessly, like infra-red or radio waves and is very easy to use, the only problem is it is slightly slower than using data cables or infra-red. In the package you get the dongle and a CD with drivers (un-needed on XP as it will be automatically installed when plugged in) When the Dongle is plugged in and Bluetooth is on, a small Blue LED lights up on the dongle, which is very helpful. You can turn bluetooth on or off using...

Review of Belkin Bluetooth USB Adapter

The best little gadget ever ! ! !

Advantages: Utterly amazing
Disadvantages: none

...These little gadgets are Fantastic and they do exactly what they say on the tin. They are about the size of a 50p and are very light, They come in all sorts of makes and design. I purchased this when i got myself a new mobile phone as i was having trouble tranfering data from my laptop to my mobile. I found it in argos for £12.99 and thought i would give it a go. Well, what a good desition i made that day. After getting home and unwrapping the Dongle, there was a little pamphlet explaining steps on how to get started and it couldn't be any easier if they tried. Insert the cd in you computer - click run and a WooHoo ! ! ! your done. A box will appear in front of you and all you have to do is click on the search botton, so it can find your bluetooth device you are trying to conect to (making sure...
