I assume it does. So far not one problem at all. I opened an $80 dollar adapter, and compared it to this one, and the only thing I could see different was a small difference in transfer speed. All of the other specs matched perfectly. It's 10m just like my t616, I hope they get more in, try looking for it in other places like the site of the maker, I didn't even spend time looking at the maker I just installed it asap lol. |

A transfer rate of just over 750k is well below the maximum speed of USB 1.1 (12Mb/s) so I wouldn't think USB 2.0 would help.

@johnmcl7 if you can stretch to about £50 get the TDK :bt: it's good stuff.
Boyi got a cheap one about £25 off ebay I think - can't remember wether he said it was any good.

I am not an ebay kinda guy, I trust a company more than a single person, even know I am still basically buying from a single person. I know for a fact that newegg.com will send you your stuff, makes me feel better.
If you think about it you don't need anything more than 1 meg a second to transfer a 30kb file to your cellphone. Doesn't make sense why you would need a USB 2.0 BT adapter for your cellphone. |

Transfer rate (~720kbit uncompressed) is defined in the bluetooth 1.1 spec, so I wouldn't expect any change in that untill the new bluetooth spec.
... Speaking of which, I've read somewhere that the next version of the bluetooth spec is on the way. One of the improvements is the transfer speed which should be 2-3mbit/s. The bluetooth 1.2 devices are expected on the marked in 12-18 months.
BlueTooth 2.0 promisses to give 4-12mbit/s

I bought a new MSI 6967 (the usb one, whatever the product code is) for 15 pounds, just waiting for it to arrive to test it.
