A Bluetooth dongle thingy ?

Bargainbabe_2

Can someone help me please

I am new to Bluetooth technology and have recently received a Bluetooth enabled mobile. Is it a dongle I need to get stuff off my phone to my pooter and vice versa? How do they work?

If so where's the cheapest? (BTW, I don't want to buy from a HK Seller off eBay)

Thank you!

Aldi had some in the other week - not sure if they still do.

I haven't used Bluetooth as yet because I find that I can transfer anything from my phone to my PC via infra-red - much easier. To transfer via bluetooth you would need a bluetooth dongle.

Yes its a bluetooth dongle aka adaptor that you need to transfer between your phone and pc and once set up its so easy and you wont look back, i bought a belkin one from pc world they had 2 differant distance available ones 10 meters and 100 meters and for an extra couple of quid i opted for the 100 meter one which at the moment looks to me like a price error as im sure i paid a lot more than that and amazon have it for £33.46 if you need any help then give me a shout.

I'm going to move this over to the mobile phones board.

I tried one of the cheaper dongles from the computer shop once and it fully crashed my pc (reformat needed) from time/tiny/the computer store and the guy in shop was refusing to do me a refund till it crashed his system too, so i recomend belkin as ive bought 2 for 2 pcs and never had a problem with them connecting to my differant bluetooth phones.
