Does what it's supposed to but has niggly issues . This unit does everything I want but has caused a few side effects that are annoying. For example, I setup the bluetooth modem to see if I could get out through my BT cell phone.
Now I get annoying pop-ups asking me if I want to dial-out that connection. Yes, I've gone through the internet options and set never-dial-a-connection. There are other little annoying side effects like a pop-up whenever my PC comes out of standby if the BT isn't plugged-in. I expect these issues may be true of most BT adapters so don't condem this unit. It's here FYI if you are new to Blue Tooth.
All that said, I was pleased with the ease of setup, management and operation. The range I get with my BT devices (phone, palm T5, and plantronics discovery 645 is better than I had expected - maybe 15 or 20 feet before cut-out, 5 to 10 feet before degradation.

Bluetooth USB +edr Adptr Class 1; V2.0 Reviews
Clunky setup . I bought this card to transfer files to my Motorola z6tv. It took a while and a re-ghost of my laptop but I figured out that the drivers that came with the device are out of date. When I downloaded the latest drivers I was able to connect to the phone and transfer files.
It's a great device when you finally get it working, but it took a bit of playing around.

Bluetooth USB +edr Adptr Class 1; V2.0 Opinions
Unless you're stupid this Belkin Class 1 USB Bluetooth just works fine. . I've used the two of these I have on my Macs (PowerBooks and MacBook Pros) and my Core2Duo iMac, as well as the four Windows PC's in my house and office. They just plain work fine and instantly!
Anyone who's had problems is just too stupid to deal with something as simple as plug-n-play.

Works satisfactorily . I have used it primarily to support my bluetooth 1.2 accessories - mouse and headset. It has worked very well - no complaints. Installation was easy.
Excellent product . Works very well, connects quickly and has good range. As of now there haven't been any problems or malfunctions. Great product!
Cons Review
No longer like to use Bluetooth for anything . It does what you'd expect, I guess, but I found I don't like to use Bluetooth for anything due to glitches inherent in using Bluetooth, including but not limited to interference, not being able to connect easily, getting dropped or disconnected, etc. What I mean is, the item is not defective or problematic, Bluetooth is.
NOT FOR MAC USERS! . This device uses the built-in Apple Mac OSX 10.4.9 bluetooth drivers. Belking does not provide nor support Mac drivers. That is great, EXCEPT, the Apple driver does not support the HEADSET profile used in this Belkin device. According to the Apple website, only the D-Link BT-120 is truely 100% supported via all profiles.
So I plugged this in my Mac, it was recognized. It even communicated with my Palm PDA. But it would not communicate with any bluetooth headsets, and the Apple bluetooth setup wizard told me so!
Save your time and money and get the D-Link BT-120. The newer revisions (at least 5 now) of the hardware support USB 2.0 now and also EDR. Depends which hardware revision you get. For some reason D-Link has kept the same BT-120 model number even though they have really produced 5 different new devices over the years. Apple says this is the only unit that will work.... and it looks like they are correct unless the manufacturer supplies custom drivers for OS X!
Belkin says on the box that this device works with Max OS X. They also say this device has a headset profile. Both true statements separately, but together they are false. VERY MISLEADING BELKIN. SHAME ON YOU FOR WASTING MY TIME!

does not work . This product and its drivers do not work at all with the new windows vista or on my older computer with windows xp. I have tried two of these items with no sucess. Will never buy a Belkin product again!
Fraud . Does not do what it said what it can do. Range very very limited
