Amazingly simple to use!, August 7, 2003
By Michael C Johnson (Ventura, CA USA)
I bought this to sync my T68i to my iBook. It couldn't have been simpler to do! Just plug it in, run the Bluetooth setup Assistant, follow the onscreen directions, and you're ready to sync. Marvelous technology.

haven't tried on a PC, but works great on a mac, August 4, 2003
By P. Myers (Boston, MA USA)
I bought this adapter to sync my iBook and my t68i. I feel bad for the people having problems with it on the PC side, because I've had no problems whatsoever. If you own a mac that doesn't have bluetooth, this little thing will give it to you hassle free. Just plug it in, the mac will detect it, and off you go.

Avoid this product and it's terrible support, July 21, 2003
By stopaskingmeforastupidnam (London, UK United Kingdom)
Couldn't get this to work properly with XP despite 15 hours effort & 23 contacts with 'support' representatives, over 3 weeks. They got me to try everything except buy a dongle from another company, which I should have done after the first hour. The support was terrible throughout. Even the '3rd line' representatives knew nothing & had to keep emailing 'Taiwan' who made useful suggestions like "try a parallel install of Windows XP".

Bluetooth Connection, July 17, 2003
By Thomas P. Hansen (KEARNEY, NE USA)
I purchased this item with some hesitation for fear of running into setup problems. After a quick and easy install, my fears immediately disolved when my office manager's computer (Running Windows 98 and Office 2000) appeared on my bluetooth enabled iPAQ. With this handy wireless connection I can also pick up my e-mail and browse the web with the iPAQ. No more confusion with the calendar and corrections or passing the iPAQ around the office, plugging and unplugging to get everything "in sync"! This device is a must. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner.

Dont Buy This Product!, June 3, 2003
By talkstuff
I bought this bluetooth USB adapter and it did not work! I try and try and I cannot get it to sync with my Palm Tungsten T! I am using Windows XP, and followed the directions exactly! Dont even try to get the tech support to help you! I waited for more than an hour 3 TIMES! I connected to a representative and he did now know what the product was, or how to help me! HE DID NOT EVEN HAVE A SOFTWARE EMULATER FOR THE SOFTWARE HE TRIED TO HELP ME WITH! it was all bad. . .

Palm sharing internet thru PC = yes, May 24, 2003
By rowazi (Western New York State, U.S. of A.)
I hear you asking if you can access the internet through your PC with this litttle gem, I was wondering myself 2 days ago. It turns out that it IS possible. (I was a little daunted by the Palm website, which said the only way my Palm m515 would connect to the internet with a Bluetooth card was through a cell phone, or a $... wireless access point.) But this is not a project for the faint of heart! The D-Link documentation seems geared towards connecting multiple PC's and wireless printers together, and the software documentation for the Palm Bluetooth card concerns itself with connections to cell phones and other Bluetooth enabled Palms. So don't expect much in the way of documentation for internet sharing if you need help.
If you want to try, I'd suggest after setting up the D-link, (which is easy) get a wireless Hotsync to work first. Then try getting the Bluetooth/USB LAN to find your PC's internet connection. (XP users - maybe set your internet connection to shared, then run internet connection wizard on the new (Bluetooth) network connection, and make sure it identifies your Internet connection properly.)
Once set up, this connection works seemlessly. I'm glad I bought the DBT-120, and not an expensive wireless access point.I hope this helps.
