Works well with Nokia 3650 when lastest drivers used, December 2, 2003
By chrisinbellingham (Bellingham, WA USA)
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. However, once I downloaded the lastest version of PC Suite (version 3.0 18-Nov-2003) from Nokia, and the latest 3Com drivers (bub1_2_10en.exe 30-Apr-2003) everything worked.
The 3Com bluetooth software works with no tweaking, and has a good manual and FAQ installed on the laptop.

Good Adapter, Excellent Software, October 24, 2003
By Jason Williamson (Los Angeles, CA USA)
First, let me say that I'm writing this review with significant experience with other adapters. I work with a lot of Bluetooth technology, and I've made it a point to try different companies' adapters. Most Bluetooth USB adapters are based on the same two chipsets, so the software, form-factor, and range are the biggest issues most users will need to look at. The 3Com adapter is a good adapter, with the most intuitive software I've seen yet. This means that most users not experience with Bluetooth technology will have an easier time using it. Believe me; Bluetooth is not always easy to get working (as a previous reviewer stated). However, do your homework to make sure your device is compatible before you buy it...
Regarding the form factor, it could be a little smaller, and the blinking blue LED is VERY bright! However the adapter wins on the "cool factor" having a blue light-conducting strip across the adapter. Range is average for this class of adapter at 10m (33ft.). I hope this helps!

Not compatible with Nokia 3650, June 4, 2003
By unknown
I bought the 3com USB Bluetooth adapter to syncronize my desktop calendar and contacts with my Nokia 3650. The adapter is not compatible with Nokia PC suite which is necessary to be able to synchronize calendar and contacts. I would not recommend it.
