My work requires faxing from a clients home to the home office. Scanning the items and emailing them is faster and a lot cleaner. I can't always get a wifi hookup with the laptop, so I transfer the files (they are PDF files) to my smartphone and e-mail them on the 3G network. No need for the added expense of an aircard and it is quick. You do need an app called "bluethooth transfer file" on the smartphone... more

I bought this Bluetooth adapter to pad my order for free shipping--I thought it would be nice to use Bluetooth Headphones while I work on my Mac G5. And the packaging said it worked a. with Macs and b. with headsets, so you can imagine my frustration to find that it did neither. I was told by Iogear support that this model doesn't support headsets (confirming the error message I received), and even... more

I just got the product and installed the CD that came with it. The installer kept coming up with boxes saying that this or that file was missing. Then before I could try to find the file it asked for, it would ask for another missing file. At one time, it kept popping up missing file boxes to where there were about 6 of them on the screen. It seems that a professional product like this should include... more

From: E-Book Systems, Inc.
Features:Wow, was I surprised to find that I had been duped! The picture on Amazon shows the AmbiCom BT2000C-USB bluetooth adapter I was looking for; but I was shipped a generic no-name "Made in China" adapter instead. I was very disappointed because my old AmbiCom had quit working and could no longer read and backup the address book from my cell phone.
The product I received was called a "USB... more

From: 3Com
I purchased the 3Com Bluetooth USB Adapter to connect my Nokia 3650 to my Dell Inspiron 3500 Notebook (running Windows 2000 Professional). Using the version of Nokia PC Suite which came with the 3650 I could not connect.

I also had trouble after installing the software. A glance through the manual indicated that I should uninstall the current Bluetooth driver, but there was no mention of how to do that. A previous reviewer had the following comment... "The native XP BT drivers need to be renamed before installation, in a nutshell"
Well, having spent about an hour trying to figure out just how to do this... more
