Excellent

Review Date: November 7, 2006

Reviewer: Tom, London UK

Wonderful experience on my Mac (Mac OS X 10.4). I didn't even install any software - just thought I'd see what happened if I plugged it in the spare USB port on my keyboard. Success - the device was automatically recognised and I was transferring photos from my mobile phone within about two minutes. What a bargain!

Works with fine Vista

Review Date: January 17, 2008

Reviewer: David Roberts, Gwynedd

I was a bit worried about buying this, having read some of the reviews. I needed to connect my new, Windows Vista laptop, to my old Sony Z600 mobile phone for using the internet when working away from home. There was no support for my old USB phone cable so this bluetooth dongle looked like the answer, and it was!

It says on the box that it's Vista compatible and it is. Just make sure that you put the CD in before you plug the dongle in. I wonder if this is a newer version of the product? The Vista drivers are on the CD, you don't need to track them down on the interweb.

I've connected to the internet (you may need a user ID, password and CID number from your phone company to do this) and sent JPEGS to and from my phone with no problem at all.

Makes downloading of photos easier and faster

Review Date: September 3, 2006

Reviewer: S. Law, Scarborough UK

I purchased the adapter for the sole purpose of easing the downloading of photos to the PC from my moblie phone. It couldn't be faster, I installed the software in five minutes and it works great. I don't need to mess with the memory stick, just send the photos by bluetooth and it's done. The photos are saved in a dedicated file and they can easily be moved to another location. There's loads more you can do of course, but that's for another day.

A great Dongle for a Mac

Plugged it into the keyboard and 2 mins later was transferring photos and video clips from my phone to my Mac (OS X 10.4) with no problems whatsoever.
Exactly what I needed.
Recommended.

Works well with Nokia 6300

Review Date: February 19, 2008

Reviewer: J. Wearne, Wirral UK

I have always found bluetooth devices a little daunting. This USB adaptor installs a lot of software which seems confusing but it all works. I have installed Nokia PC Suite and all my phone information has been synchronised. At todays price of £7.99 it's a steal.
