perfectly portable August 27, 2008

I had a bluetooth headset for my phone and wanted to use it with Skype - I just plugged in the adapter, and away I went. There was a little confusion with the drivers (should have read the instructions first) but otherwise it works just great - easy, compact, and a great range.
 Works with Vista August 3, 2008
I've tried several of these devices and this is the ONLY one that I could find that works on Windows Vista. Installation was simple and it worked perfectly after the installation.
WORKS FOR ME July 13, 2008
I have Windows Vista and all the review seemed to agree this one is best so I bought it. Use it to download pics from my camera to computer,seem like this was the only way to do this at least with my phone.
Plugged it in, set it up, couldnt get it to work, didnt try long. The next day I plugged it in worked right away, dont know why but it did, worked fine for what I use it for.
works fabulously so far May 31, 2008
This bluetooth adapter has been excellent and hardy in the time I have had it, which granted is not very long. Works fine with Vista, has been able to detect my phone, palm pilot, and bluetooth mouse.
Works well - needs more detailed instructions May 30, 2008
The product comes WITHOUT instructions and, sorry to say, the menu screens and drop down menus anre NOT intuitive. I bought two of these devices, one for myself to use to link to my cellphone and the other for my wife for linking to her printer.
It took only a few minutes to pair my cellphone with the bluetooth, but it took another half hour to set it up to find everything in the the phone.
A similar pattern was encountered with the printer. No more than 5 minutes to pair the unit with the printer. There were no instructions on how to set up the system to print. It then took me another hour of trial and error to finally find the menu item to create the printer link to be able to print. I really could have used an instruction manual.
In any case, once the setup was made everything works as advertised. Have not yet tested the unit for distance - should be interesting.
