Bluetooth adaptor

[shazzabell]

I want to buy a Bluetooth dongle. Should I stick to a well known brand, i.e. Belkin, or would it be safe to buy a cheaper make? Also, what meter range should I go for?

Just go for any old cheap one. They all come with the same chipsets (often Broadcomm ones, for example).

Plenty here:

Check the reviews; there are some with good ratings.

Only thing I would suggest (on having used three different brands myself) is that some will work with the (albeit primitive) built-in bluetooth functions of XP SP2, while others require thier own specific software installed to communicate with the device.

Better brands don't really mean better service. Range's are also not brand dependant, some are 10m (like most mobile phones) and others can be up and above 100m.

eBay is a glorious place for all things bluetooth and dongley (not a word, I know!). Just watch for the postage costs from Hong Kong!!
