Works well and config was easy.......2007-12-07
I was looking for a BT adaptor for my laptop that would support a stereo BT headset, and do dialup networking over bluetooth with my mobile phone. I'd never used bluetooth on a PC before, but the setup was very simple. RF is very strong - I can listen to my headphones from way more than 30 feet without distortion. Overall I'm very pleased.
Not much help.......2007-11-12
I am updating my first assessment of your product. I would give it two stars rather than one because I can get it to do something but it is not doing what I want.
I installed the software and rebooted the computer then plugged in the Bluetooth. I wanted to download pictures from my cell phone to my laptop. The laptop can see the cellphone but I cannot drag and drop any pictures. It has a serial port connection but I cannot access the phone with it. The cellphone shows the laptop and can connect to it but I cannot transfer any pictures. I have to go through quite a bit to get it to connect. If anybody has any hints as to how to make this work I would appreciate it.
Great little bluetooth adapter!.......2007-09-24
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.
Works Great.......2007-09-23
I had the belkin bluetooth adapter which killed my wireless. I got this and there were no problems ez install......no lag
Bluetooth USB Adapter.......2007-08-14
Worked first time with plug-and-play capability plugged into a Kengington hub on a Apple MacBook. However, my Bluetooth mouse keeps dropping the connection and there is a delay in making the mouse connection when the computer display has been dark. That may be the mouse rather than the adaptor, though. Overall I can recommend this product.

Bluetooth.......2008-01-01
Great Adapter but the software it comes with is a trial so u have to get a good one. I would suggest BlueSoliel. Good Product though.
Very basic use only not good for audio.......2007-12-30
Its max data rate is 1 Mb.
I think this would work ok with a mouse or cell.
It did not work with a sony CMT-BX5bt.
A bluespoon connected well with the sony.
OK Only for Limited Bandwidth.......2007-12-15
I bought this item for use with a Wacom Graphire tablet. However, it turns out it can't handle the data rate for pressure sensitivity. The tablet/pen combination works, but only like a non-pressure-sensitive mouse.
The product otherwise worked well right out of the box, but had I known its bandwidth limitation, I'd have never bought it. The feature listing that says it complies with Bluetooth 2.0 is incorrect--if you look under "See more technical details," next to "standards compliance" it lists only Bluetooth 1.2. Even though it was such an inexpensive item, this kind of thing just burns me up. You get what you pay for in this case.
Works fine.......2007-12-14
Works just fine...arrived in a week; installed software on Dell XPS M140 laptop. Activated bluetooth on Pantech CB3; plugged in little module on the usb port; click click; no problem.
Works Flawlessly.......2007-12-11
product just arrived!
Whats inside the package: Installation mini-cd, Bluetooth USB Adapter
Was very simple to install on my WinXP machine. Package indicates it supports WinVista will try that out later on my nephew's pc. Ran the program that was installed and turned my phone's bluetooth on "find me" mode. In the progam simply clicked "My Bluetooth" and 'Bluetooth Device Discovery', it found my phone within 5 seconds. Paired the program with my device and it asked my permission on my phone. Gave it permission and it asked me for a code, I input a code that I just made up and then the program asked for the same code. This code helps prevent others from interfacing with the program when I have it on. Once it accepted the code I merely clicked on "Bluetooth file transfer service", the program then opened an windows explorer type folder listing all the folders I have on my phone. I was then able copy and paste stuff (images, ringtones, music) directly into that folder and it was then on my phone.
It really couldnt have been simpler. I literally was able to get rintones from my computer to my phone using this product within 5 minutes from opening the package.
In closing, great product, great price, would recommend to anyone looking for a Bluetooth USB Adapter to transfer stuff from their pc to their phone. It also works with Bluetooth 2.0 devices so I can listen to music on my pc with my bluetooth headset with ease.

Works perfectly.......2007-12-08
Plugged it into my Linux machine. Absolutely no problems; drivers worked the first time. I was able to transfer contacts and pictures to my cell phone and my wife's cell phone.
no driver trouble here.......2007-11-04
I was a little disappointed to see that there's no cover for the plug, but the device seems to work fine. No trouble with drivers; it popped in the taskbar of my Ubuntu desktop within seconds of plugging it in, and it receives data from my wiimote.
Be Careful.......2007-07-18
I have vista and it does not work. The company was useless about letting me know when an updated driver would be available. Wiat for the MOGO mini USB adaptop its a 1/5th of the size
nice unit but slow as snot.......2007-07-18
I got this unit thinking it would be great for uploading files to my camera and otherwise comunicating via blue tooth. it does quite well for just being a blue tooth adapter, but the speed for transmission is like 50Kb/sec maximum....which is fully unacceptable. this is to an older nokia blue tooth 1.1 phone. I would recommend a different unit if you are trying to send information in any sort of quantity.
Poorly made -- broke the first day.......2007-07-10
This product worked for one day.
It is very poorly made.
It does not even have a cover for the connector.
The manufacturer made this as cheaply as possible.

The Best Bluetooth.......2007-10-18
If you are looking for a computer desktop bluetooth this is the perfect match.
It works great no problems when installing and has fast conection (USB port 2.0)
Just got it, but works great with windows Vista .......2007-06-17
Just download drivers from their site, and you're done!! Does what it said. Also great for A2DP (stereo bluetooth headphones). I'll check my the review later to add more info.
Good Product.........2007-05-07
Overall this is a very good product. I was looking for dongle which supports MS Bluetooth stack and this is the perfect one.
Works like a charm.......2007-03-23
This bluetooth dongle works like a charm. The included software package makes it easy to configure the system to do just about anything you could think of with bluetooth, from answering your phone through the computer (don't know why you'd want to though...) to easily moving files back and forth from device to device (what you're probably buying it for).
It's a bluetooth 2.0 device, so there is a nice strong signal to connect to (of course, the other device should be 2.0 as well to take advantage of the extended range), and it fits well next to other USB devices on my computer (unlike some other dongles I have bought in the past that nearly take up two ports worth of width).
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking to add Bluetooth to their home or mobile pc.
Good product, driver installation may be tricky.......2006-10-16
I purchased this product to pair with a Bluetooth headset/headphone to listen to music and be able to talk on Skype while away from my computer. The device is performing fine, however the setup has been a bit problematic. When you plug in this device (or any other Bluetooth device for that matter) to a pc with Windows XP (Service Pack 2), it will be recognized and set up to work with Microsoft's Bluetooth driver. However Microsoft's current driver does not support audio communication with headsets, so if you use a Bluetooth headset you will need to install the adaptor's own driver. The driver software cd comes with the product but it may be worthwhile to check MSI's website for more recent versions of it. My experience with this driver has been less than perfect; I had to uninstall/reinstall several times for the device to function with MSI's driver properly. Also you may need to manually disable Microsoft's driver after this installation if it is not disabled automatically during the installation of MSI's driver.
Overall I am happy with my purchase and I think this is a quality product.
I also want to add some information that can be deemed useful by future buyers of this Bluetooth adaptor:
Two characteristics you may want to consider when purchasing a Bluetooth adaptor are its data transmission speed and its range.
The data transmission speed of a Bluetooth adaptor (a.k.a. dongle) depends on the adaptor's protocol version. The products that sell today are either Version 1.1, 1.2 or 2.0, with the last two being more dominant. Version 1.2 operates at speeds up to 0.7 Mb per second and Version 2.0 operates at speeds up to 2.1 Mbps (3x Version 1.2 speed).
Bluetooth adaptors also have a 'Class' rating which determines their range. Oldest (and now obsolete) class is 'Class 3' which had a range of 1 meter (~3.3ft). Today you can find products that are either 'Class 2' or 'Class 1'. Class 2 Bluetooth devices transmit up to a range of 10 meters (~33ft), while Class 1 devices transmit up to 100 meters (~330ft). Classes are not version specific; older Version 1.2 adaptors are Class 2, more recent 1.2 and 2.0 Versions are Class 1.
An important thing to keep in mind when buying a Bluetooth adaptor is that neither the connection speed nor the range of your network will fully be determined by your adaptor. After all, it's a network and the receiving device also has a thing to say (bottleneck issue). A Class 1 , Version 2.0 dongle, for example, will not perform up to its maximum range (330 ft) or maximum data transfer rate (2.1Mbps) if it is paired with a receiver device (headset, printer etc..), that is Class 2 and that is Version 1.2. The speed and range of such a network will be closer to the inferior values in each category, in this case closer to those of Version 1.2 and Class 2. However such a network should still work fine because the version and class protocols are backward compatible; units with newer protocols will work with units with older protocols.
To sum up, buying the adaptor with the best features will not necessarily make your Bluetooth network faster or further reaching unless it is paired with a receiver device that is equally advanced. Today, for example, almost all Bluetooth headsets you can find in the market are Class 2 (for practical power saving purposes, since these devices need regular charging) and hence will not work at distances much more than 33ft even if they are paired with Class 1 adaptors.

Installs and works perfectly.......2007-12-09
I have had mine for 2 months now, never a problem.
It just works!
Do not hesitate to invest in this option, it is worth it.
A must for the Canon iP90v.......2007-10-11
Bought the printer at Best Buy and they didn't have this adapter. They also tried to convince my any other bluetooth adapter would work. Fortunately I didn't listen to them. Ignorant sales people. This adapter is expensive, so is the printer, but it works perfectly. It also slips into a discrete connector near the front of the unit. It does not stick out of a side or other area. Seemlessly integrated. It also works from over 300 feet away from my Mac Pro workstation. Print times are fast as well. The only interference has been when my dehumidifier has been between the two. No clue why. Expensive but worth it.
NIFTY WIRELESS PRINTING.......2007-10-02
This blueTooth adapter is much smaller than the picture leads you to believe (perhaps half an ounce) and fits INSIDE the Canon ip90 printer...when used with the Li ion battery, it provides true on-the-road wireless printing. One of my niftiest gadgets, and love showing it off to others. Can bring the printer with the laptop to clients to print out documents, also prints excellent photos on plain paper, and is FAST with the BT. A little expensive at $70, but well worth it for those who bring the Canon printer on the road for business. Highly recommeded.
It works fine.......2007-09-11
This device works as expected. I think Canon should have included bluetooth with the iP90v printer that I bought, but hey, they've got to make money too.
Just like other reviewers have stated, there is no documentation on how to insert it into the printer. I had to do research on Canon's site to find out how. But basically it goes inside a slot inside the front, left side of the printer (if the printer is facing you). You might need to open the top cover of the printer to ensure it's properly inserted.
Good luck!

Good choice.......2007-09-07
Works excellent with my Bluetooth headset Plantronics Voyager 510. Easy installation. If you need a driver for Vista it is available on Kensington official web site.
NOT RECOMMENDED.......2007-09-05
I bought the KENSINGTON 33348 BLUETOOTH USB 2.0 ADAPTER thinking that was an excellent choice for a TOSHIBA A205 S4777 NOTEBOOK (which is without Bluetooth: what a shame). But this device never works with my IOGEAR USB 2.0 PRINTER ADAPTER. The Iogear technicians told me that their device was able to run or work with any Bluetooth devices in the market, and believe me that it is true. The technician from KENSINGTON never resolved my problem, I sent several communications that were answered very fast, I sent all my notebook file "mycomputerinfo" to Kensington for research and they are doing it now, looking for the problem or researching my technical case. For me as a senior Engineer I believe that Kensington has a really bad software for that USB Bluetooth device that works or run with windows vista 32 bit. They need to make a complete research with the new software. When I bought the Bluetooth it came with all the software for all windows OS except for Visa OS which I have had to download from their web page (the drivers for vista for the usb kensington bluetooth). I recommend this product for all users of Windows XP and also other versions with 32 bits. BUT THIS DEVICE "KENSINGTON USB BLUETOOTH" IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR WINDOWS VISTA USERS EVEN DOWNLOADING THE UPDATE THEY HAVE FOR VISTA. IT DO NOT RUN OR WORK WITH MY IOGEAR USB PRINTER DEVICE 2.0. SO, NOT COMPATIBLE FOR ALL VISTA USB BLUETOOTH DEVICES: NOT RECOMMENDED. I RETURNED the device YESTERDAY NIGHT TO THE SELLER THROUGH THE EXCELLENT SERVICE OF AMAZON. BY THE WAY the technicians of kensington were excellent in attention and fast. But the product is not ok I think that it is for the software. I hope this will help to everyone. Regards,
Definitely more than expected.......2007-07-09
I was looking for a Bluetooth 2.0 device, and I have always been a big fan of bluetooth - however fan and user experience has been spotty at best. Finally, a device that can do well in multiple environments (sync with Palm, bluetooth headset, and use a mouse). I was just looking for it for my VoIP application, but it more than delivered. It actually worked with multiple vendors (Plantronics, Microsoft, and Palm) - a rarity in this day and age. Now if they could just take this technology and embed it into my laptop.....I would be a happy guy.
Bluetooth USB 2.0 Adapter.......2007-06-08
Needed to upgrade my Mac PowerBook G4 with Bluetooth. I've used Kensington products before on the MAC. Great choice, product worked right out of the box, just put it in the USB port and it worked, no need to run CD or download any software.
Works great most of the time.......2007-05-08
So handy I have two of them. The only problem is that when I connect it to my flat screen and then swap connectivity of the flat screen between my two laptops I sometimes have to reconnect my wireless keyboard.

Great little bluetooth.......2007-12-28
Linksys is known for making a great product and they did it again with this thing. Works great connects with my phone a pinter a PDA you name it. I highly recommend it.
Great Product, Easy setup.......2007-12-15
Used this product to connect my motorola cell phone headset to my pc at work and listen to audio from my pc. Also has great range.
Antenna.......2007-12-10
This device works very well, but it is very flimsy. I have purchased five of them and have already had two of them with broken antennas. They still seem to work ok that way, but I don't know how long they will continue to work before the internal wire breaks as well and the antenna falls off completely.
not worked with samsung t629 and windows vista, messed up my system!.......2007-11-21
I bought it to link a wireless laptop with a blue tooth cellphone to have internet connection to go. It didnt work and messed up with my computer. i had to do system recovery to get rid of the crappy errors after that USB installation software!!very nice and good customer service, they advised me to install and update such and so, it was not helpful at all. Thanks God my computer was warranted and Thanks to the Amazon , was return without headache! I bought a cable to do the job and get rid of the software incompatibilities!! I wish it was working, I wanted to be wireless!!
Bad drivers.......2007-11-17
I tried to install this one and it simple went bust - I think I heard a kaput sound too.
XP has terrible bluetooth drivers and if you want to get the speaker profile to work, good luck. The supplied drivers claim that this works, but you will have to do go through a lot of pain to get it right - and I am no newbie to technology.

More instructions.......2007-09-03
It works all right, but at the time you install it in your pc is really difficult because the instructions are not enough clear. I had a problem with de COM port, and I took me all day long to find out what to do.
Does the job!.......2007-08-23
The TRENDnet bluetooth adapter installs easily and has a nice interface for connecting your bluetooth devices. I use it for downloading pictures from our camera phone -- the process is simple and efficient. I quickly have the photos moved to the directory I want on the computer.
Smooth.......2007-07-16
I installed the CD, put the adapter in and - it worked! In this day in age when install processes always seem to have a catch - it's nice when something work. I'm using this to sync up my Palm TX and it works fine, slower than using the cable, but works fine.
Next step is to try and use a bluetooth headset with Skype
What more could you want?.......2007-07-02
Good price, does exactly what i need it to do. If you need your computer to have bluetooth capability, this is what you should get.
TrendNet tbw-101ub.......2007-06-10
The only issue I've encountered so far for this product is that the adapter is not yet compatible with Windows Vista. I'm sure it is a great product but have yet to use it because I'm waiting for TrendNet to release a driver for Vista.

great deal.......2007-05-29
product arrived as expected
work exactly the way it was suppose to
Great product.......2007-05-14
We were looking for Bluetooth technology for Motorola/Sony computer. This is perfect.
Don't lose your disk.......2007-04-02
Product work fine once you figure out it's little idiosyncracies. Had a lot of trouble getting the computer to recognize the adapter whenever i unplugged it. Had to remove and reinstall the software on occasion. Also remember once it tells you that a connection has been established you may still need to press the button on the RIGHT side of the headphones (Motorola HT820) to hear anything. Would recommend it if you can get it at a good price like i did, but would not buy it retail.
Not as bad as they say...........2007-03-28
This little unit works great for me along with an H500 bluetooth headset. I use it for making calls via Skype and have had great success. I bought mine used from another very large online auction site and also didn't receive any drivers.
A resourceful and web savvy internet user could have easily found them and had them installed in less than 20 minutes....At least that's what I did. Lot's of folks have them posted on FTP servers and other locations. They are out there, you just need to put forth a little effort in finding them.
My experience with this product has been just fine.
great.......2007-02-12
Fast shipment, great , now I can listen to stereo music from my laptop when I'm in any room

Crashes Wireless Network Cards in Centrino Laptops.......2007-10-16
I bought this adapter to use with wireless headphones and for syncing my smartphone.
The adapter works great with one huge exception. If you install this on a centrino laptop, it will most likely crash and corrupt your network drivers.
I tried this with 3 laptops with various implementations of network cards and the adpater driver and software goofs with the TCP/IP settings of the adapters so you can no longer use a network connection. It seems to work fine with the one desktop I tried.
Basically on a notebook you end up either having bluetooth or an internet connection, but in order to use your internet connection you have to uninstall the bluetooth drivers and software, not particularly convenient.
I went back and forth with Belkin's tech support and they quit responding to messages. They told me it was a problem with my computers and not the poor quality of their software. Overall the support for this item was poor at best.
I would stay away from this and consider adapters from other vendors.
Hello, Wireless.......2007-10-15
This little ditty changed my life. I now have a wireless keyboard and mouse thanks to this adapter, and I can partner my Mac with my cell phone, too. Makes my Mac even more of a dream to use. I have had absolutely no trouble with this product.
KILLED MY WIRELESS.......2007-09-19
THIS BLUETOOTH WORKS FINE BUT THE RANGE IS NO WHERE AS LONG AS IT STATES AND I COULD NOT USE MY WIRELESS WHILE THE BLUETOOTH SOFTWARE THAT IT CAME WITH WAS INSTALLED
Excellent product!.......2007-06-24
This is an excellent product! Installation and operation is very simple and straightforward (at least under Windows XP SP2). I was even able to use my cable modem Internet connection from my phone (just needed to enable PAN + Internet connection sharing in XP). Tested with SE phones K790a & W710i. Absolutely no any problems. Works perfectly under Linux too.
Brands fail too.......2007-06-13
I am the kinda guy who will pay enormous premium for branded products. This toy I bought just dint work. Poor documentation/implementation. At some point, when I got this to work, my wifi on the laptop wouldnt work. I may try Linksys in the future, but have not bought a replacement yet.
