Michael recommends this Bluetooth adapter

[Michael]

I recently picked up the new Linksys USB Bluetooth adapter, and it has been awesome.

It has the best Bluetooth audio support I have seen yet. Not only have I been able to use any of my headsets with it, I have even been able to use the PC as a headset for my 6820.

As in the phone's audio comes out of my PC's speakers, and the PC's microphone records outbound audio. Very cool.

It has a good range, as best I can tell, and has a nice adjustable whip antenna, which I like.

Costs more than some of the tiny USB dongles (I payed US$39 from Buy.com, including shipping), but worth it.

Is this a BT PC card?

[Michael]

No, it wouldn't be called "Linksys USB Bluetooth adapter" if it were.

OOOOOOOOOOOppppssss! Stoooooooopid question? I guess so! :D Sorry about that. Honest mistake. Did not see the "USB" part.

I guess I deserved the sarcky remark? Makes me afraid to ever ask anything anymore here.... it wasn't THAT stupid a question now, was it? :)

[Andy]

Seems you weren't too afraid to ask another question, 'cause you did.
No it wasn't that stupid a question, but then again, Michael's answer wasn't really that sarcastic.

I find the TDK USB Adaptors the best of the bunch. They enhance the Widcomm drivers (with special tutorials and step by step guides) and they provide firmware updates and frequent driver updates.

I got my first TDK one in early '02 and it's worked a treat since day one - it's as happy in my PC as it is in my Mac - I still use it on my main PC :)

They recently updated the product to enhance it's range, and added a specific Mac version with white and silver colouring (to match the iBook and Powerbook)

Best quality USB adaptor I've had to date (and I've had a fair few in my time), also find it offers the best support and enhancements included.
