Does anyone know of a bluetooth adaptor for a laptop. My laptop has PCMCIA (PCCard), Firewire and USB? Any idea of the cost?
I know nothing about bluetooth so I hope this is not a stupid question. |

Go for a USB adaptor, they're cheaper and can be used with all PCs, not reserved for laptops like PCMCIA bluetooth cards.
TDK have a good one, not the cheapest but good quality, and easy to use.
You can buy one from Carphone Warehouse for £79.99 if you're in the UK, or check out www.expansys.com for internet ordering - great product range, reliable service.

Many thanks to you all.
I have done some more research and i have come to the conclusion that USB is both better and cheaper, for my requirements. |

Any TDK Systems PC Card users here?
I am considering this product at the moment. Does it really hold the connection to T68i at up to 50 meters? I mean doesn't the conection depend on the maximium range of both devices?
How much of it sticks out of the laptop? Can you cary it around with the card in or do you have to take it out bofore transportation?
Is there still an issue that everytime you have to manually connect the virtual comport before the Ericsson Mobile Phone Monitor can detect the phone?
Thank you for your answers. |
