Customer Reviews

Do not buy this if you value functionality
This card does not, and I will repeat, DOES NOT, work as a common customer would expect it to. It will NOT run with any built in bluetooth software (i.e. Windows Bluetooth functionality) Instead it utilizes a BlueSolei software package that does not offer the same functionality as a name brand bluetooth card (which supports the in house software). This is a textbook case of cheap, quick manufactured technology pawned off on unsuspecting customers that believe they are getting a bargain. Notice how there is no company name behind this product (i.e. Linksys, Belkin, MSI, etc) Do yourself a favor- pay the extra amount for a quality product that offers support for their customers. You will have more success with drivers for multiple versions of the operating system you will use and also have access to fully functioning software. Do not buy this product, Do some research. Do not be fooled by a bargain priced item.

Good news and bad news
Good news:
- The price was great and the shipping was amazingly fast.
- It worked on XP with my Bluetooth Wacom graphics tablet.
- It's available in several colors. The dark blue looks nice.

Bad news:
- It didn't work quite right on XP with my Razr cell phone; it cut off photo transfers, so they only came through partially.
- Although it's available in several colors, there doesn't appear to be a way to select a color. They sent me the dark blue.

No news:
- I haven't tested it on Vista, because nothing seems to work quite right there. Another reviewer said it does, so I'll have to give it a try.

OK Only for Limited Bandwidth
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.
