Bluetooth USB adapter

krishna

Need to connect a Nokia 2680 to a PC to copy photos to the PC. There is a tiny USB connection on the Nokia, but apparently it is not possible to buy a cable for this! So I thought may be I could connect via Bluetooth, but will need to buy an adapter for the PC. The prices of these adapters varies tremendously, between around £2 and £20. Anything I should be looking out for when choosing one, or can anyone recommend one?

Thanks

Donnie

Cheapest and amongst the least intrusive here.

I bought a tiny half moon one from a HK ebay seller for about £1 which was specified as working in XP and Vista and by george it does. I saw one that looked identical in Maplins store priced at £19.99

I'll try to dig out a link to the seller I used if it is still showing in my f/b

===

I'd saved the seller - http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/motel268__W0QQ_armrsZ1 but he doesn't seem to have them still

This one looks the same, is UK based, and costs £1.37 delivered

Not much to lose

That model does not have USB connectivity.

OK. Bought this one from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0013BFQUE/sr=8-1/qid=1252507148/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1252507148&sr=8-1&seller=

Looks like the same thing and under £2:j

I have resurrected this thread because i am thinking of buying from Amazon the dongle mentioned. But I can't see references to windows 7 or vista? Is there any one using it for those OS?

Thank you

with XP you generally install software and updates for the dongle, but XP can just as well detect a bluetooth dongle itself.

I have Win7 installed, although I have not tested the device in win7 as yet, Win7 is supposed to have the ability to detect the bluetooth dongle allowing you to upload.

Heres a useful bit of advice on setting Win7 for bluetooth

I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Bluetooth-USB-Dongle-Support/dp/B001MG8QH0/ref=pd_bxgy_ce_text_b but from a seller off ebay in Hong Kong and it works fine with windows 7, it only says vista compatible on the packaging but it works fine

Ive also used the £1.00 ones off ebay with windows 7

They sell these tiny ones in the pound shop for ... £1. I've not tried one but others seem to have found it ok.
