Fine Piece of Technology

This product works very well for what I need it for. I use it to send ringtones, themes, wallpapers, pictures, music, games and such to my phone from my computer. It makes sending and receiving things to and from my computer and phone very simple. The best part about it for me is that I can make my own ringtones on my computer from my music then use this bluetooth adapter to send it to my phone so I don't have to spend any money on cool ringtones. I even have an older macintosh computer and it works great! I recommend this product who needs to adapt their computer device to use bluetooth.

Reliable and Easy to Use

Among the bluetooth adapters available at the time I made this purchase, the D-Link had the best track record. It's not the rock-bottom cheapest, but believe me when I say the few extra dollars are worth it in headache prevention.

The package comes with three things: the dongle, which is about the size of your thumb knuckle (smaller than the average thumb drive); a usb extension cable, which is really handy if your usb ports are a little close together; the driver disc.

One word of caution: ignore the setup instructions-do NOT install the driver disc!! For some devices, particularly smart phones like the Blackberry, the D-Link drivers will not work properly. Have no fear, though- this actually makes things easier for you. You just plug in the dongle and away you go. Windows XP has built-in support that works flawlessly with my Blackberry Curve. I sync my phone, transfer files, and everything else without any problems whatsoever.

Overall I am extremely happy with this device and would buy it again without hesitation.

PS- I have heard of problems with this device and Windows Vista. All I can say there is Vista is already notorious for bugs, problems, etc. If you're using Vista, consider "downgrading" to XP.

Perfect with my G5

I opted for this rather than the Apple kit since it was less expensive and much easier to install to add Bluetooth to my PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7. Works flawlessly with my Apple wireless keyboard and didn't require any software install, OS X Tiger 10.4 treats it just like the native device. Perfect.

Works for my Mac, But....

While I am an old time computer user (started in 1968) I have never owned a bluetooth device until I was recently acquired a Motorola RAZR. I looked around for a way to get the music and ring tones from my older Mac (G4 running OS X 10.4.11) to the RAZR. I found the D-Link device and saw many positive reviews so I ordered one. It arrived and with much fanfare, I opened the box then inserted the device into the end of the USB extension cable. This cable is a high quality shielded cable about 28 inches long I leave plugged into my Adaptec powered hub since my computer does not have a USB port on the front.

I then spent over 4 hours trying to figure out why the bluetooth preference did not show up in the set of system preferences. No mater what I tried it was not there, the bluetooth preference had disappeared. I read the manual, searched the vendor web site, and searched Apples web site all with with no luck.

The most irritating part was that it worked perfectly for my wife on her e-mac. She just plugged it in, opened the system preferences selected bluetooth, followed the on screen directions and installed her ring tone. ( And I am supposed to be the computer expert in our house... Grrrr..)

After I slept on the matter, I unplugged the adaptor from the cable and inserted it directly into the Adaptec powered hub (Not sure why I thought of this) and presto all was right with the world. The setup was a breeze, and I now drag and drop files to and from the RAZR v3xx in true Mac fashion with no problem. (My wife used the USB port on the side of her computer the first time)

Thus in two out of two tries, the device works exactly as advertised - right out of the box. I just wish someone somewhere had told me to beware of cables and plug the device directly into the computer port. Perhaps after you read this you will know to remove the cable if your bluetooth system preference does not show up.
