Bluetooth adapator for PC

Poppy9

My OH wants to Bluetooth photos etc from his phone (motorolla L70) to our PC.

This is the machine I have. Saw one in Tesco's today for £10. Just wondered if there are different types etc.

I have a Belkin usb adapter and have had no problems with it.

Selling as Argos for £15.99, item 6767316.

A bluetooth dongle plugs into a USB port, £10 sounds about right. MAke sure the phone is on when your sorting permissions etc

A word of advise on these. Go for a decent make (Belkin are good). If you get a cheaper one from ebay they can be a nightmare to set up. people I know who have bought the cheaper ones have always thrown them in the bin and got a better one.

It will save you money if you buy a good one FIRST time round!

have a look here www.blueunplugged.com very cheap and my advice is bluetooth is bluetooth its thats simple anyone will work.
you'll need a 2.0 usb one which means its as fast as your usbs the further away you want to use it is for bluetooth headsets not the actually dongles, so 10-30 meter one would be fine to use with a phone-pc
