Product Description

No matter what Bluetooth device you have this is definitely a must have for all Bluetooth users. This greymobiles dongle is the best and smallest we have ever tested measuring only a tiny 9mm x 10.6mm x 5mm. Amazingly this dongle packs some impressive features including Bluetooth version 2.0 technology which is 3 times faster than version 1.2 for super fast transfer rates. A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) has also been incorporated for high quality audio transfer so you can listen to music using a compatible Bluetooth headset (sold separately). Compatibility is also not an issue as this adapter is backwards compatible with Bluetooth version 1.1/1.2 products and all versions of Windows (including VISTA). Are you bored of the same old wallpapers and tones on your handset? Do you want to transfer your photos from your Mobile Phone/PDA to your PC? With this Bluetooth dongle you can explore your phone/PDA by transferring pictures, ring-tones and managing features and applications on your compatible device. Synchronise your contacts, e-mails and important files by simply enabling your Bluetooth on your compatible device and transferring them over, yes it is as simple as that. Easily surf the web on your Mobile Phone/PDA/Laptop by using your home internet connection.

Customer Reviews

Beware - charges for driver update
This is cheap but not a great bargain. I installed the adapter and the software (v2), which turns out to be limited in functionality, and a pop-up appears asking if you want to upgrade the software to v6, which i wanted to do to gain all the functions. Clicking this takes you to the bluesoliel website, who want to charge 20 euros to upgrade the drivers. This is totally unacceptable.

The supplied software itself is limited, and will not function with the sony ericsson pc suite or the remote control feature on my sony c702. The product is advertised as supporting A2DP music streaming but this option was 'greyed out' in their software, even though my phone supports it. I uninstalled the drivers and let it function with just the windows vista drivers, which gives me the functionality i wanted except A2DP.

My advice is to stay well clear of this and purchase something else.

Nice dongle, old drivers supplied, wonga required to buy new ones
Dongle is a nice small size. It installed OK. The two biggest problems are the the drivers supplied on the disc are BlueSoleil 2.6.0.9 Release 070606. There are newer drivers available from BlueSoleil, 6.2.227.11 but BlueSoleil want 19.95 for these drivers which will give 'free' updates for a year. Also, when transfering lots of photo's from my Sony Ericsson W800i, after about 15-25 photo's the connection drops and has to be restarted which is a pain in the butt. Summary: nice small size; good for basic small file transfer; not good for big file transfers; no free BlueSoleil driver updates.

Not supported anywhere
Dongle came with BlueSoleil software - plugged in dongle, hardware not found by Windows XP SP2, installed sofware, failed to install correctly. Downloaded latest version, installed OK but is evaluation copy only, went to buy software and ..... dongle not supported by BlueSoleil. Have given up and purchased a Belkin 2.0 dongle which works for the A2DP service I require - what a nightmare.
