there are absolutely stacks on the market so which one (affordable, ~£30 - £40) would you recommend for my T610 ?
thanks for your help

I use the Sitecom CN-500. Very small, looks quite cool and works perfectly.

I've also been told this one is good. Even has a blue light that flashes when in use.

Hi
Has anyone tried out the Billington Class 1 BT-usb dongle. It has a theoretical range of 100 metres.
I've been using it with my T610 for about a week now. Pretty cool stuff. |

This isn't much use unless the thing you're connecting to also has the same range.

No harm in preparing for the future though.
If you buy a BT dongle for your computer now get the best
if you buy a BT enabled thing lateron that can handle 100meters
you gonna wish would had bought the BT dongle that could handle it.
That is if the price ain't much higher. |

But can be handy if you have another pc for example - you can use 2 bluetooh dongles to make a wireless network - here its certainly useful to have > 10m range.
I thought I saw a link somewhere on this site which was to a vendor that sold 100m usb bluetooth dongle for 22 ukp - but I cant find it anywhere now - not even in my IE history  . If anyone knows this site reply here ... I think it had "components" in the domain in the url.
ps Make sure that any dongle you get is version 1.1 + of bluetooth as v1.0 only supports single devices and 1.1 supports up to 8 IIRC. I think they are probably mostly 1.1 so this is prob not an issue.
