Well, it does the job...  |

Ok, its a bluetooth USB adaptor, does exactly what it says on the tin. To its credit it works. The main problem is a minor conflict with Norton Personal Firewall 2003 which can cause internet connections to freeze for several seconds. The only other issue Ive had is with Nokias bluetooth-modem software - it will only recognise card adaptors, not USB so I cant use my mobile phone as a modem over bluetooth.
(My PC only runs a Celeron 800MHz so the performance issue might not be so severe on more modern machines.)

Well Made but not Very Good!  |
I would think twice about getting this product because it has caused alot of disappointment for many people. This is because although the Bluetooth adapter is well made, it is an old design and as such ***can not*** share your internet connection. This is due to the way the hardware was designed and not the software. I bought this device purely for browsing the web wirelessly with my Pocket PC via my PCs broadband connection. :(After e-mailing Belkin Support they informed me that I should get a different model. Very confusing considering Bluetooth is meant to be a universal standard!?! I returned it and bought a TDK BT adapter instead and have had many happy hours surfing! :) Hope this helps you,

This product is an excellent product to have if you like to send music and games etc. away from your desk. You can leave your phone anywhere in the house (or even in the garden) and it will still recieve a strong signal. The software is very easy to use and to set up and so far i have had no problems with the adaptor. I would advise anyone to buy it. Great!!
