I want to connect my K7 to the computer via bluetooth
So I want to buy a usb dongle thing
It has to be below £20 (inc postage) and from a reliable site
Which ones do you reccomend
I was thinking this one

Any Ideas

i use a belkin F8T002 ver2 - exactly the same as the one in the amazon link, but it looks nothing like the one in the picture.
The only problem i sometimes get is the phone dropping the connection when the screensaver kicks in, or the autokeylock kicks in... other than that it works fine, but bluetooth is stil sloooow... |

i thought usable throughput on BT1.1 was 700kbps.. i think 1.5mbps was USB1.1.. cant be too sure without checking..
Either way, its a shed load faster than cable or IrDA (both max at 115kbps), but the BT service on the phone is serial over bluetooth.. i have no idea of the transfer rate on that, but it still takes a while to transfer 30MB of mp3's... |

heres a shoddy photo of the belkin, it does still have the Blue LED:
not had severe probs with it yet, but my experience of bluetooth on PC's is far from perfect. I find bluetooth an arse at the best of times, especially as i use 802.11 as well.

Most dongles are fine, I use a Belkin myself.. though have stopped using it lately due to what I call "blue led syndrome" .. simply put I don't need to turn a light on in my PC room any more, the leds light everything up. :/
You sould be fine with any BT dongle you choose however.
