    I'm not sure. I dont think I have bluetooth on my laptop, but it said it had 'wifi' so I would be able to connect to the internet wirelessly through IR ports.
  • Don't think the motorola has an infrared port, so you can't really use the infrared.

    So its either USB cable or bluetooth.

    The advantage of a bluetooth adapter is that you can use it to connect your laptop to other bluetooth-enabled devices such as a PDA. On the other, getting two bluetooth devices to sync is either straight-forward or plain difficult.

    Much safer with a cable, but obviously you can only use the cable with your phone then. And from what I can see on ebay, they also provide you with the motorola driver cd which is packed with plenty of other stuff too.

    Really your choice now!
