Bluetooth Dongle's for d500?

Can anyone recommend a good quality one, but cheap?

I've spied this one on eBay, would it fit the bill?

  • I think there's some on ebay cheaper than that. Most of the ones on ebay are of good quality, not the best but do the job quite well. If possible, try to buy from someone who will take refunds, that way .. if you have any problems, you can still return it.

    I can recomend one but not sure if cheap maybe it will be on ebay, i have used for the past 2 years a belkin bluetooth adaptor, it has worked flawlessly with v525/v600/v80/k700i and not forgetting d500 although you cant transfer java games with it but that applies to all bluetooth with d500s, you can transfer games with all the other models ive listed. I did try a smart bluetooth adaptor once and it crashed my pc and needed reformatted and i believe crashed others, well i do know it crashed the shops when they tested it.
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I've just bought eBuyers Bluetooth dongle at 9.99 (12.92 delivered) item 51441. Plugged it in (XP SP2) and it links to my K700i with no problem.

    Im not sure about that one but with the motorola hs810/820 you need to put the headset into pairing mode before the phone will find it, usually push and hold the call end button 3 or more seconds and open it for use and it should bleep or flash but it should be in the instructions.

    when connecting any bluetooth it will ask for the pin in the moto series its 0000 and ive used that since in all pairings, i think as long as both pins are the same it should be ok.

    Apparently you can, haven't tried it myself .. but the process is long and tedious. This link might help.
