Am about to buy a bluetooth dongle and wanted to ask you that does it come with the software cd? I read somewhere on esato that it does not work on Windows if XP Service Pack 2 is not installed.
Is it true? Please help? I have a k700i.

All bluetooth dongles come with a driver cd.
And the biggest proof that a bt dongle can work without SP2 is me, myself.. 
I am on a pc without sp2 and the dongle works ok..
But, if u have sp2 installed, plug in the bt dongle directly without installing the drivers and see whether the built in bt drivers in xp recognises it..
If not, then try with the drivers installed..

Mine is a Microsim one.. i had another two earlier which refsed to work with nokias so borrowed this one from mrao...
Go for good brands like billionton or microsim..
Don't really know much about the transfer speeds...

I have an MSI one for some time now.
Works a treat (besides some initial COM0: problems...  ... but it was my fault  )

I got one yesterday. The shop didnt have a Microsim So I installed the Blusoliel 1.6 drivers that came with it in a mini cd and after installing the software doesnt detect the dongle . It still says 'please insert bluetooth device'. Please help. I have windows xp sp1 installed. |

Also, did u follow the correct procedure? First install drivers, then plug the dongle, and then restart.

Yes I did everything. First installed drivers and then restarted and then plugged in the dongle. Windows detects the dongle but doesnt recognize because its not sp2. But why doesnt Blusoliel recognize it? |

I have a widcomm (d-link) dongle with WinXP service pack 1 it works fine. I'd say try to uninstall the driver plug your dongle and see if your comp. recognizes as a usb device...when it ask to install the driver automatically choose manual, and try to point to the cd that has the driver on. |
