Customer Review: Easy Bluetooth Intro
I have thought about Bluetooth accessories for a year or so, but this is my first venture. I installed it on a Dell XPS laptop according to directions, and have had no problems with it. The only device I’m currently running is a mouse, and the setup and operation has been smooth and problem-free. My only gripe is that the card sticks out about 1/2″ from the side of my laptop. I think that’s an unavoidable problem with any card in the slot, however, and it hasn’t been a problem.
Customer Review: I cannot use this device
I didn’t do enough research on the product before I ordered it. It doesn’t support the native Windows XP Blue Tooth drivers provided by Microsoft and the drivers provided by Belkin are not 100% compatible with some of the newer Bluetooth devices available. The only way to get it to work at all is to run the full install from the Belkin CD and it disables the Windows Bluetooth services and replaces them with Belkin services rather than just providing a driver that works with the native windows Bluetooth services. This is most likely because this device has been around since before Microsoft released support for Bluetooth technology. It would be nice if Belkin released an updated driver but they haven’t..
