Who's got one?
How much did you pay for it?
And was it worth the money? |

I have the TDK USB Bluetooth adaptor. A friend of mine got it for me from Expansys US for about $125, and I have been using it without any problems so far. Installation was easy. I think it's worth the money because I can transfer logos, send sms, synchronize contacts with Outlook, use the T68 to connect to the internet etc, etc.. with just one piece of hardware. |

what do you think of this one from MSI?
it's reported that it will cost around US$50, and supports the following profiles: Generic Access Profile / Service Discovery Profile / Serial Port Profile / Dial-Up Networking Profile / Fax Profile / LAN Access Profile / Generic Object Exchange Profile / File Transfer Profile/ Object Push Profile / Synchronization Profile
Is the price a steal, or what? |

I bought the MSI PC2PC Bluetooth USB adapter for under US$50 and it works quite well. You need to have the Ericsson Mobile Phone Monitor software installed and then use sendfile tos end files to the phone, the software that comes with the phone doesn't work for file transfer. I still haven't been able to set my PC up to connect using CSD connections through the phone.

Hi Ciba / anyone!
Really need ur help here. I bought an MSI PC2PC bluetooth transceiver key and installed the MPM, XTNDConnectPC, SendFile and the software that came with the MSI transceiver. I am able to pair the PC and my T68i, but I can't send any files. The SendFile software is not working at all. The "select" button is greyed out (ie can't select at all. Could you pls help me out on this? Also, if possible, could u outline step by step what u did to make file transfer works on the MSI transceiver key? Really appreciate ur help on this. Thanks!! |

*MSI usb adapter owners, can you do multiple activities simultaneously? For example, surfing the net while FMA or PBTM is also running.

am gonna answer my own post.
yes, it's possible to simultaneously run FMA and GPRS internet connections (and probably the same with the MPM apps - i dont use them anyway). i just got the adapter. took me some time tinkering with the settings (and the SMS/phonebook management software sucks), but I use FMA anyway  |

Sorry about that but if you don't yet know, you can use window's own file transfer software to do it. It's also a lot better that Sendfile or anyhting else. |

I bought the same gadget for US$50. It works extreme well with all current programmes such as XTNDConnectPC, SendFile , PCcontrol, Btcontrol, MypictureR2E.
I'm definitely buying a few more msi usb bluetooth adapter (MS-6967 ) to network all other computers at home |

Hmmm, i dont think bluetooth is the best solution for a wireless home network. WiFi is designed with LANs in mind, while bluetooth are for PANs.
