Just look on eBay... i swear buy it as long as you make sure its from an reputable person with a good rating.
I got mine for £16 + £2 postage. Brand new, 40m range (not that you need anything above 15 when the P800 is only 10m range) and i had a few difficulties getting it work at first... but that was on the P800 side. Now i know how to get running and i use it at work as my way of getting files on to the P800 with ease. Also handy for sharing stuff with the other P800 user here and the peeps with the Ipaq's. |

Looks good to me. Small and easy to keep in the pocket.

Can you let me know when they have arrived? I don't really like buying stuff over the net. Just want to be 100% sure that they deliver on time and that they don't con ya.

PC is in an upstairs room at the back of the house and i have no probs at all i my back garden as there is only 1 wall in the way, but its still works upto about 20-25m away, in the front gardwn it has to go all the way through the house but still can manage about 20m or so.
As for the transfer rate, ive just got R2F and the transfer speed seems faster through BT but its still painfully slow as it is using the USB cradle... |

I have an Epox dongle & I use my BT connection mostly for surfing while I'm in my bedroom across the hall from my study (where my PC is). Its about 10m but there are 2 brick walls and it works well. While I'm using Bemused and I have my music pumping I walk all around the house & out into the garden without too many problems. I have found that Bemused can initiate the BT connection again from the P800 (as long as I have the Bemused server running on my PC) if I go out of range. There must be a way to initiate the standard BT connection (using some kind of 3rd party app). Also, be careful about walking around surfing the net with BT because if you are loading a page and you walk out of range then Opera will automatically connect to GPRS and download the rest of the page.

if the p800 had a bluetooth range of 200meters it would be good.but alas it would need a sizeable batery if it were to work for long.it would last about 90min with the battery of the p800.output transistors are power eaters.your pc runs of the mains
