I got a Novatech one a while back and it's pants.

I remember the days when drivers didn't used to work with each other,
but I was shocked when I plugged the BT dongle in and a screen popped
up saying that Microsoft hadn't made a DirectX standard for BlueTooth.

Looks like I've taken DirectX for granted, but at least there were no
jumpers.

The software installs and I can SEND to my Nokia 3650, but send FROM
my 3650 to my dongle, as the software doesn't support it. And, to my
surprise, there being no compatability between the dongle and Nokia
Data Suite (Or whatever it's called these days) they don't work
together.

Does anyone have any experience with this particular dongle and the Nokia
6310i? It's much cheaper than Time2Talk's £25 non-branded BT dongle
(www.time2talk.co.uk), or even Argos' £29.99 Belkin one (www.argos.co.uk).

I wanna know how well it works for 2 PCs. OT I know, but somebody must

I just bought one of these on this recommendation and it's every bit as good
as claimed. Setup was easy and it connects with my T610 without any problem.
I've also got a Bluetooth enabled desktop PC and the two will talk to each
other quite happily, not tried file transfer yet but will post again when I
have.
