Fantastic bluetooth dongle! It works!!!

Hi folks.

I purchased the MSI "BTOES" Bluetooth USB Dongle from Watford
Electronics
( http://www.savastore.com )

Purchased it online on thursday afternoon, and it came the next
morning by recorded delivery. Only £18.68 including delivery and VAT,
and even a complete moron like me managed to get it up and working
nicely within about half an hour of opening the box. Happily sharing
pictures, ringtones etc. between my T610 and my Tosh laptop.

I'm nothing to do with Watford Electronics, just sufficiently
impressed by their customer care and level of service to post to this
forum!

Cheers!

I got the Gigabyte bluetooth dongle from EBay, and I can confirm that also
works well with the T610 (and the Sony Clie NX73 as well)

I got a Novatech one a while back and it's pants.

I remember the days when drivers didn't used to work with each other,
but I was shocked when I plugged the BT dongle in and a screen popped
up saying that Microsoft hadn't made a DirectX standard for BlueTooth.

Looks like I've taken DirectX for granted, but at least there were no
jumpers.

The software installs and I can SEND to my Nokia 3650, but send FROM
my 3650 to my dongle, as the software doesn't support it. And, to my
surprise, there being no compatability between the dongle and Nokia
Data Suite (Or whatever it's called these days) they don't work
together.

Does anyone have any experience with this particular dongle and the Nokia
6310i? It's much cheaper than Time2Talk's £25 non-branded BT dongle
(www.time2talk.co.uk), or even Argos' £29.99 Belkin one (www.argos.co.uk).

I wanna know how well it works for 2 PCs. OT I know, but somebody must
have tried it.

I just bought one of these on this recommendation and it's every bit as good
as claimed. Setup was easy and it connects with my T610 without any problem.
I've also got a Bluetooth enabled desktop PC and the two will talk to each
other quite happily, not tried file transfer yet but will post again when I
have.

Tried file transfer now. Not that quick but ok for small stuff. Copied a
29.4mb folder from desktop to laptop, took 16 minutes so transfer rate of
about 1.8mb per minute. As I say its not quick but its great not having to
have cables all over the place.
