Okay peeps I need a blue tooth dongle to go with my new Nokia 6230.

I need to be able to use it on Win98 and Win2K.

Any recommendations?

I've got a DLink one that I bought ages ago that works a treat. Plugs into USB port and is nice and compact...

Think they are all much of a muchness really, you plug it in ... it does stuff then you go "ooooooooo" ..... no but really all the ones I've used/setup seem to be easy enough and work. DLink stuff is usually quite good and cheap as rob says....

There's tonnes of the things on ebay starting from the

I've got a belking one, 100 metre range, latest model. I no longer have a need for it, I paid 59 for it about 6 weeks ago.

I've got a MSI one (not the blueshoes or whatever it is called) and works pretty well with the Nokia 6230 (which I have). Got it from Ebuyer (who no longer supplies it) for

Cheers guys.

They are all very much of a muchness these days. i got a 100m one from scan for 11 quid.

they all use the same software.. which i think sucks TBH. the extra baggage it puts on your system and insists in keeping in main memory adds up to about 50mb. which isnt great when a machine (my laptop) only has 128mb ram

Actually debating on just getting a data cable now as I'm probably going to be sat at the PC when I need to to transfer data.

To many decisions to make.

Time go back north soon so will pick something up onthe way to the airport.

The scary thing is, data cables are usually more expensive!

Infra-red might be a cheap compromise...

Thought about IR but it's much more line of sight based and you should see the state of my desks.

You could use a series of prisms and mirrors to get round this. I think. Hmm, that gives me something to do this afternoon... :rubchin:

A prism based IR router!!!

I've played with a few, and the D-link one seemed least hassle. Any problems you get are likely to be related to Nokia's dodgy implementation of Bluetooth! Anyone with an early 6310i will be able to tell you about it......

I have the Dlink DBT-120 and it's fine. Does the job without any fuss and it's really really small. Ideal for laptop usage.

Only costs

bloody bluetooth, great when it works. had a nightmare with bluetooth on computer, sometimes works sometimes don't and i can never get nokia software to connect through my bluetooth wotsit. works better in the car for me
