Hi, was looking for a bluetooth dongle for my K700i but I'm pretty clueless!
Had a look on eBay but I'm unsure if these are OK and dont know a good price.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated!
Cheers

well there are two types, 10m range ones and 100m range ones.

10m - £20+
100m - £35

is the kind of prices i've seen. Stick with the established makes, i.e. Belkin.

I use Motorola's bluetooth dongle at the cell phone store where I work and not only does it work beautifuly with every phone we sell, but also a wide range of accessories (eg. Bluetooth headsets) and PDAs!

dunno if it's available there but I've been using the Epox (BT-DG05A) class 1 model and so far, no problems.

I'm using a Belkin Bluetooth dongle which works great, (easy to use software as well) bought mine from argos £19.95 saving £10.00.

Novatech also offer a wide range

Thanks for the help, will hopefully have one soon

ps Another quick question, does leaving bluetooth connection ON run the battery down a lot?

Difficult to say how much more...someone here maybe able to quantify this but you shouldn't notice it too much, that's unless you are going to leave it on all of the time.

@p900 lover

I don't think you will have any problems using any one of the dongles mentioned here.

To be honest you would probably find it harder trying to find one that it wouldn't work with
