 Perfect! And the ONLY ONE that works with Windows Vista out of the box! June 26, 2007

Unlike *all* the other manufacturers out there who seem to have been blind-sided by the advent of Windows Vista, this Bluetooth transceiver works right out of the box.
Just be aware that their in-box installation documentation needs to be updated and download their latest drivers from their web site. (Trust me, I have done a lot of research, and none of the other manufacturers have so much as Vista drivers!)

Great standard bluetooth adapter. I was looking for something with a little smaller profile to avoid the pen stuck in the side of your PC look, but this seems to be one of the smaller units.
I have used it with various bluetooth devices and works like a charm. There seems to be some latency when you are first picking up a device, but that may be just the bluetooth protocol part. Something to keep in mind as you consider other units.
Great product, wonderful features May 14, 2007

If your considering buying a blue tooth USB adapter, this is one of the best choices you can make for the price. There is also the cheaper version of this product by the same company but with amazon's $25 or more free shipping, this is better deal, price and featurewise. Haven't had any driver issues or anything, simply follow instructions and its up in 5 minutes. Fairly fast data transfer rate, and light as a feather. The only down on this product is having to wait for it to ship. two thumbs up!!
Works in Vista x64 January 3, 2008

I had to search hi & low for an adapter that would work in Vista x64 (Premium Edition). I was trying to get my Treo 700p to synch (there are no 64bit USB drivers for the Treo). This uses Microsoft's Bluetooth stack (some others install their own) and worked well with both Vista and the Palm hotsync.
Great little bluetooth adapter! September 24, 2007

This adapter works perfectly! Follow the directions in the manual and it's ready to go in minutes. It recognizes my phone 3 rooms away. I use it with a W810i and have no problems.
