Wireless Transmission Speed: 721 Kbps
Antenna Gain: 1.2 dBi
Strengths: Ease of Use. Great Range. USB extension cord included. Cover included. Unlike Linksys routers, it looks good-- and blue for bluetooth, he he. Feels Durable.
Weakness: Chunky. Cheaper ones are smaller but have much less range. And you wouldn't have to worry about breaking an antenna.
I use it with my Nokia 3650. The bluetooth install was the easy part. Sent pics from my phone to my computer in right after installation. Nokia's PC Suite was what took a lot of time to get working...and I downloaded that to make communication with my phone more "convenient"-- it finally is, though. Now if my phone's bluetooth is enabled, I just plug in my Linksys and find which files on my phone...
Strengths: The reception is so strong. Easy to setup.
Weakness: none, so far.
I've been using this bluetooth dongle for about a week to connect with my motorola V600. It's very easy to use and install/setup. However, I do not like the design of the USB cap. When in use, you need to remove the cap and there's slightly chance that you might lost it.
Strengths: Easy to install. Excellent software
Weakness: Conflicts with other bluetooth software
This a very good product for its price. Competitive products are more expensive but provides the same functionality. The antenna is flimsy and can easily break. The antenna should be integrated inside the case.
Strengths: long distance signal
Weakness: none i know
get it cheaper here at pricegrabber.com I tried to buy somewhere else and was almost buying at for 58 dollars.This product is excellent for transfering data via cell phones.
Strengths: Excellent software, very stable drivers, works very well, good range, sturdy
Weakness: Would prefer if it was wide rather than long, to fit better with a laptop.
Setup was extremely easy. It worked on the first try and required no tinkering. The software and drivers are excellent. It has performed flawlessly with my Sony Ericsson T610 cell phone - for GPRS internet access and synchronizing. It didn't even need the Sony Ericsson driver. This device is a godsend after all the hassles of the last device I used. It has made bluetooth a much more inviting...
Strengths: Reliable connections, solid software and hardware, easy to set up
Weakness: Antenna seems unnecessary
If you're shopping for bluetooth adapters, this is the one! I didn't want to set up broadband Internet access at a short-term place I stayed in, so I bought this adapter to connect to the Internet through my Sony T610. Works like a charm! I've been able to keep connections open for a long time with no interruptions. Painless set up for Windows XP. I could imagine a non-tech savvy user installing...
Strengths: Very Good Signal for bluetooth. I can get it easily in other rooms in my house and close to the 100m that it claims but not quite. Maybe I just have thin walls!
Weakness: It was a little tricky to get it set up with internet sharing because they don't explicitly tell you how and if you already are on a shared DSL/Cable network it adds more problems.
Overall I really enjoy having the USB bluetooth. I can now surf the internet on my Zire 72 palm. As well as HotSync and even remote control Winamp on my computer from my palm. Bluetooth is awesome!!
Strengths: This was easy to install and use. I use it with a motorola cell phone and it is great for transferring pictures.
Weakness: the only weakness was more my computer. Windows 98SE wasn't the most cooperative.
Tech support for this product was AWESOME! They returned my call more than once since I was not home the first time that they called. I would purchase again from this company just because of the tech support!
Strengths: once you get it working, it's rock solid.
Weakness: install is quite difficult under windows xp service pack 2.
PLEASE, PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU INSTALL ANYTHING: support.microsoft.com/... The bluetooth in XP SP2 is a nightmare. Read the above, rename the native XP SP2 bluetooth driver and then install the linksys driver. Do it any other way and you're asking for trouble. ---------------------------------------... After following the above instructions, I was able to sync my Treo 650 from anywhere in my...

Linksys USBBT100 USB Bluetooth Adapter
Strengths: Easy to install and use, works well, good range.
Weakness: Antenna seems a bit flimsy.
Connected to my desktop on a rear USB port, so even though the antenna doesn't seem the most durable, it's really not an issue for me. I use it to connect with my Motorola cell phone - works flawlessly, even when the phone is in the next room about 30 feet away.
