What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Pros: This is as small as SKU 14255, which I bought last month. The main reason I also bought this one (for a dollar more) was to get the Widcomm software that the pictures indicate come with this SKU.
Cons: Unfortunately, the unit I received, did not come with the Widcomm software. Instead, the line "Legal widcomm software" on the liner, has been covered up with a sticket that says "Legal Bluesoleil software". And indeed, on the driver CD, it's BlueSoleil 2.6.0.9.
Other: If 14255 is out of stock, then you can consider this one... otherwise, if you're hoping to get Widcomm drivers, then this one no longer comes with it.

Pros: Very small, tidy little dongle with a decent range. Comes with BlueSoleil software.
Cons: Comes with BlueSoleil software. The pictures showed it came with Widcomm software, which is a MUCH better package. But the one I received had a little sticker over that saying BlueSoleil instead. This was a little disappointing.
Other: Very good dongle. Hardware-wise, it's a fantastic product at a great value. Software-wise, it's sufficient, but not outstanding. Either way, it is still a great deal for the money. Buy it!

Pros: I bought two of these a couple of years ago and they have served me well. Bluesoleil is craptastic, so I've succesfully used these with toshiba's bluetooth stack, widcomms/broadcomms stack, java bluetooth stacks, microsoft stacks etc. some driver hacking and you are good to go. My main use for bluetooth is using wiimote on computer and these work well. Greatest thing I found out was that these work directly with HP's photosmart printers with USB-port for bluetooth. Some "real" bluetooth-dongles don't work directly (You can make them work by first putting this dongle in, letting the printer to setup and then switching to the other dongle). The LED is not as annoying as those bright blue LED's in some other devices, just a nice red glow.
Cons: Build quality is good overall, but sometimes when I take the the dongle off, it falls apart, though it is easy enough to put it back together, you might want to put some glue or something between the plastic and the metal, for modding purposes the easy disassembly would be great. range could be a bit higher (maybe about 5m direct(!) line of sight), but for a device this size and price I'm satisfied. So not any real cons.
Other: Great, Buy, Over and Out

Pros: A small USB Bluetooth adapter, which allows to connect on any USB port. Perfect for laptops, you can leave this adapter while carrying your laptop. It works perfectly for data transfer and also supports AD2P profile for stereo sound. It's really easy to use with bluesoleil.
Cons: The only inconvenience could be that it's so small that you can easily lose it.
Other: This is the smallest bluetooth adapter for PC you can find and it also works very good.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It's a bluetooth adapter. And then some. This thing is so small you can put it in your laptop and leave it connected even when putting the laptop in its carrying bag. It hardly sticks out, so it's safe to leave it connected forever.
Also, this dongle is instantly recognized by Windows 7, no extra drivers required, even though they are supplied on a mini CD in the package.
I've tested it by trying to tether my pc to my phone via the PAN profile, and it worked beautifully. I haven't tested other profile, but since this stick uses the Microsoft BT-stack, I suspect most profiles will work.
Cons: The build quality is off by just a little. The metal cover of the USB plug look as though it can be slid off, but don't worry: it won't come off by itself.
I'm also missing some sort of activity led, but that probably not possible without getting it so small.
Other: For laptop/desktop usage, it's perfect. Hands down. Just don't loose it, because it really is that small.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: A really great product that you can use for a lot of stuff. You get the CD with it too, which has a software on it, which is really easy to use. I'm using this thing now for a while and a good part is that the range of this bluetooth is awesome!
Cons: Definetily none, really amazing thing! Only that the price is a bit big ;)
Other: Another amazing product from DX, which you must buy! This thing is really usefull for some people who want to have some wireless capability on their computer.
