Customer Reviews

Excellent
Wonderful experience on my Mac (Mac OS X 10.4). I didn't even install any software - just thought I'd see what happened if I plugged it in the spare USB port on my keyboard. Success - the device was automatically recognised and I was transferring photos from my mobile phone within about two minutes. What a bargain!

Works with Vista!!! Not with supplied CD though...
This IS compatible with Windows Vista, I have it running now, but it took a lot of time getting it to work, thus the lack of one star.
However, do not try to install from the CD. The drivers will install, and ask you to reboot. However, upon reboot, the dongle will still not work.

You need the F8T013 Driver Vista32 (version 6.0.1) driver from the Belkin Support site. Unfortunately, I cannot link here due to Amazons strict hot-linking policy. Then plug in the usb stick, and run the "SETUP" File. After this, an icon should appear in the taskbar, and you're able to transfer.

This stick is tiny! I've used it to transfer items off my W810i, and even used my phone as a bluetooth remote control. Really good at tricking people by telling them you have a voice activated mouse whilst you navigate with the phone in your hand. They'll never suspect!!

Makes downloading of photos easier and faster
I purchased the adapter for the sole purpose of easing the downloading of photos to the PC from my moblie phone. It couldn't be faster, I installed the software in five minutes and it works great. I don't need to mess with the memory stick, just send the photos by bluetooth and it's done. The photos are saved in a dedicated file and they can easily be moved to another location. There's loads more you can do of course, but that's for another day.
