Overall I give this product 3 stars because the software seems flakey. One one of my Win2K computers the install said that it completed but when I rebooted it complained about not finding BtBalloon.dll. I searched the install files and found a file called BBalloon.dll. So I copied it to \WINNT\system32 and renamed it BtBalloon.dll and it was happy. On another computer the software just stopped working and I had to reinstall.

As others have said download the latest drivers from the DLink web site and don't use the ones on the CD.

I use this device to connect to my Sony Ericsson T616

My first objection is that the drivers on the CD do not work. Essentially, this means that you have to download NEW drivers from the dlink website. The important lesson is to know what 'hardware revision' of the adapter are you using. B1 or B2 or B3 etc. It's clearly printed on the dongle itself. Second, note down which version of the CD came with you Adapter ... this will help you decide which drivers to download from the Dlink website.

Once downloaded, you might run into trouble when you run Nokia's PC Suite... which is the software that allows you to backup your contacts, do synchronization with Outlook etc etc.

Visit dlink Austalia website at www.dlink.com.au and they have some nice pdf files telling you how to make the Nokia software work with the DBT-120 adapter.

It's working now. Ask me and it wasnt a 'smoooth install'.

Also, the drivers dont support windows 2003 platform.

Then, the final step once you finished all the steps in the booklet is: pair your phone! In your phone go to Connectivity, click on Bluetooth, then turn it on, then pair it. it will look for devices, and it will find ur pc. and then u set it as authorized so u have easy access. now, picture times.. go to images, select ur pic then click on send and select bluetooth.. On the D-link software for bluetooth (double click on icon) there is a saving folder : select, ur pics are there!

At least, it works perfectly with my 800MHz G3 iBook running OS X. It seems that XP users may have a little more difficulty. I wouldn't want to say anything about that as I might look smug.

Anyway, if you have other BT devices it's wonderful. I've used it to send and receive files to and from a Tungsten T, a T616 and a Nokia 3650. (If you don't have any other BT devices, why would you want this device?) I've also used the T616 and 3650 as portable wireless modems, and, while expensive, this is *the* best use for the D-Link with a laptop. You can get net access anywhere you can get a cellphone signal.

I really can't think of anything bad about the D-Link.

The installation (onto my XP Professional OS Dell laptop) was different on screen than suggested by the user guide on the CD and Quick Install Guide. A bad start. It required two reboots during the course of the install - surely unnecessary with Win XP. And, most objectionable of all, I had to key in a 32 character security code to 'register' the software - how stupid is that?

Anyway, eventually I got it installed and working, but it was very difficult to understand or use. For example, what do you think that an 'Object Push Link' is? Whatever it is, I have two of them now!

The software would occasionally generate error messages that sometimes didn't seem to mean anything, and other times probably did!

Anyway, after a month of not using it, I needed to use it again with my Nokia 3650. But when I went to use it, I could no longer get the devices to communicate, and after speaking with T-Mobile's helpful customer support, we identified the problem - a missing D-Link driver.

So, I called D-Link's misnamed customer 'support'. After 3.5 hours on the phone (sure, with several disconnects during that time) and speaking with four different people, none of whom could solve my problem, a supervisor interrupted to say that it wasn't their responsibility to fix the missing D-Link driver so that it would talk to the outside world!!! The 'level two' support person who'd been struggling to help me said he had to therefore end the call and couldn't help any more. He suggested I place a message asking for help in a news group!

The software interface is impossible to understand and when it doesn't work, you're on your own. Unacceptable in all respects.

Simple, easy installation-I just plug it in, no separate drivers required-and I've encountered no problems with syncing my T3 to Palm Desktop software and several third-party conduits for photographs and whatnot. I have no idea what's on the CD that accompanied the package, because OS X's built-in Bluetooth support handles this adapter perfectly.

Interesting to me that a quick reading of the reviews posted here indicates little or no hassle with this adapter for Mac users, and a bit of hassle all the way to hair-pulling insanity for some Windows users. I use both Macs and Windows machines in my daily life, and I like each for specific purposes, but the Mac's ease of use definitely can't be beat-and this is a shining example of that philosophy.

Installation was a pain. Reading the manual first is essential. However, when I finally did get it working it worked well, really well! This happy state of affairs lasted for about three weeks. At that time it would occasionally turn itself off. I'd have to pull it out of the USB port and re-insert it to get the device going again. Eventually (a couple of weeks later) it just stopped working.

It took about 3 days and 2.5h of phone calls to finally get a human on the D-Link helpline, and not a very friendly one at that. The device was returned to D-Link (at my cost) for replacement (at their cost). They received it on 15 October 2003. It is now 5 November and I am still waiting for the replacement to ship.

Great device when it works. Bad when it doesn't. Awful if you need D-Link service.

This device automatically detects when I'm near my computer with my phone and starts syncronizing automatically.

The USB extension cord is very thin (think microphone cable) and it allows me to quickly connect this adapter without crawling under my desk to find the USB ports (why do most PC companies continue to put these on the back?).

Overall, I can't recommend this highly enough. It's great price is just a bonus.

I bought the dlink adapter to try out the bluetooth functionality on my Sony Ericsson T616 phone. From the beginning, driver install (developed by Widcomm I believe) in Windows XP was painful. It hung during first installation of drivers; after some finagling, I got the installation to complete.

The bluetooth discovery was working at this point, I could see my phone, etc. Unfortunately, that's all that was working as the driver install had killed all other network services on my machine. Internet explorer was not loading; I couldn't browse the file system through "My Computer" or manage processes through Task Manager!

Dlink support to the rescue: after several rounds of the ticket getting "escalated", they finally told me "it was a virus". What an amazing coincidence that must have been because the problems started right after I installed the bluetooth drivers. I did an XP system restore to the point right before bluetooth driver install: this got explorer loading at least, even though I still did not have internet access. After some searching online, I found a fix to repair winsock, this fixed my problem.

My experience with this product was terrible. It may not happen in your case, but why take the chance? There are several other equivalent USB bluetooth adapters out there, I'd recommend anyone to try another one first.

Download the PC Suite software from Nokia's website and install it. PC Suite will not work until you connect the cell phone to the computer for the first time, so don't bother opening it yet. Install the D-Link software. Ignore the boxes stating that the software is not supported by Windows XP, it does work. Turn on your cell phone and turn on Bluetooth, leaving it within a reasonable distance of your computer. Make sure the Nokia software is told to search ALL BLUETOOTH COM PORTS to connect. This can be accomplished by opening the system tray program "mRouter" and selecting all the boxes. Pair the cell phone and computer using the D-Link software. If you are running a firewall, either turn it off or click yes when programs start asking for internet access. Then, connect the cell phone to the computer using "My Bluetooth Places" (D-Link Software). A box will come up stating that the cell phone is connected on COM Port 0. Click OK. Almost immediately, a box will come up saying "The Bluetooth Serial Port connection failed: The remote device closed the connection." Click OK and completely disregard the error message. Open up the Nokia software and it will work.

I give this product 4 stars only because of the error box that comes up whenever a connection is made. Otherwise, everything works fine. Believe me, I spent quite a while shopping for a Bluetooth adapter, this is the best choice. If you have a Nokia 3650, it is an absolute must-have.
