 Excellent product, better than expected September 30, 2008

Based on the couple other reviews, I thought that I would take a gamble on it. I needed something to connect my cell phone bluetooth headset to my computer for a VoIP setup needed for work. With little information and having never used bluetooth, I gambled and I won.
br /
br /The dongle has a small foot print. The software is excellent. I was able to connect all my cell phones and the wireless headsets to the computer with out any problem. Further, I was able to integrate my wireless headsets to my VoIP application (Avaya IP Agent, in case anyone is wondering). I was pleasantly surprised to see that the device packaging says that it is VoIP capable. The software is easy to use.
br /
br /Over all, I am very pleased with the device. For less than $10 and the small footprint, you can't go wrong using this device.
br /
br /I recommend it to anyone looking for bluetooth USB adapter.
What a deal! November 22, 2008

I purchased this to enable my PC laptop to use a bluetooth mouse. I chose this over other bluetooth adapters because of 1. size and 2. price. Both are extremely compelling reasons to purchase this particular item.
br /
br /Being mere fractions (1/4 to 1/6) the price of other bluetooth adapters, it was irresistable, and I'm glad to say that it works fine. Of course, I do not use it for anything other than a bluetooth mouse at this point, so I am not aware of its speed in transmitting data. The dongle itself is exactly as pictured, very small and unobtrusive, much smaller than more expensive and branded dongles. It looks a little cheap, but then I remind myself that yes, it was indeed cheap...and it works fine.
br /
br /As another reviewer says, I recommend that anyone who purchases this use the software CD that comes with the device. I would not trust Microsoft Windows to do a good job with the driver. It seems to be very good software, too. It recognized my mouse immediately, and was easy to set up.

I've been using this for a week now and, contrary to most reviews I read before buying this product, I have no complaints whatsoever.
br /
br /I have to admit I was a little bit skeptical at first but I had to try it... I mean, it's $0.99! I went ahead and got it thinking I wasn't losing much if it didn't work. Well, to my surprise, I had no problem since I plugged this baby into a USB slot. Windows recognized as soon as it was in and I didn't even have to install the software it came with. Pairing my BT keyboard, mouse and headset was a breeze. The packaging says it has a 100 meter (330 feet)range... I haven't been able to test it that far but it has worked great around 15 meters (aprox. 48 feet) with no loss of data... and that's a whole lot more than most $20+ BT dongles out there.
br /
br /So, in short... get it... it's great!
Works fine with XP Pro February 14, 2009

I've used this on three different Windows XP Pro systems (SP3) and it works just fine with my cellphones. I have not, however, tried it with Vista (I don't have Vista so I cannot try it).
plays well with Linux Mint August 14, 2009

The dongle is small and unobtrusive. Plugged it into my Acer Aspire One running Linux Mint Gloria and the Bluetooth icon came on right away. Connected to my Verbatim bluetooth mouse easily. I haven't gotten it to work to stream music to my Motorokr BT headphonesyet. But it maybe because Linux doesn't support that yet. Satisfied with the product, the price was great! Should've bought a dozen more! I think it'll make a nice gift for people who haven't discovered this product yet.
