USB Bluetooth Adapters (recommendations)

[xplizit]

Hello peeps
I'm new here so be nice :) Been lurking for a while but I got a question for the knowledgeable kru (geeks :D)
I'm about to get a BT adapter but since i've heard about some problems with some models I need your advice.
I'm looking at the cheapest ones so that Belkin one which seems to work is a bit out of my price range.
Anyone had any experience with any of these or know any other in the same price range?

Any info much appreciated

Cheers

Hi xplizit,

I don't know which belkin USB Bluetooth adapter you were refering to but i think this one is not too bad... not the prettiest but it apparently has a range of up to 100m

but if you are looking for something even cheaper, I think you may be able to find some at www.ebay.co.uk

good luck :)

Cheers mate. Just done that. That was the Belkin I was on about but everywhere I'd looked it was £50. Nice one

That's not what I've heard. Most people on here seem to say u can get 100m

[wenmi]

but 7650 only has 10m

someone says in this thread that it doesn't matter:

I hope they're right
I reckon they are

[wenmi]

sorry, but that cannot be possible!
the phone will find the computer, but the computer cannot catch the phone's signals because they only rech 10meters

I am using the following usb bluetooth.
Although it is 100m class1 bluetooth, due to the n7650 limited 10m range, i have to be within 10m to use it.
