Hello everyone, hope all is well.
I have an iMac at home, and this has bluetooth built in... Great, works great with my Nokia N95...
But I have a work computer that is windows... And it would be good to have a reliable (and hopefully cheap!) USB bluetooth dongle that I can put in the computer so I can transfer small files to my phone and also... would be cool... to use my new bluetooth headphones with my PC too.
Is there a dongle that would allow me to use both my mobile and my headphones on the computer? Do I need special software to get the bluetooth headphones working with my computer?
Any help would be great!
James

There are plenty more like it around the net. I use 3 different ones on my work pc, home machine and Car PC (where I use the one I linked) and they all work great.
As far as I know, you can't connect more than one device at a time though, maybe if you had two dongles?
Ive used a sitecom one I got off play.com about 5 years ago...
its totally battered and now held together with gaffer tape... but works a treat ! 😉
I use a motorolla one, i've had it two years and also works great.
As far as headphones go, you may need a seperate driver for the specific makes of headphones but i'm not 100% sure as I've never used headphones through usb.
The windows XP bluetooth driver works fine for my N95.
car PC cool, did you build that your self?
i have a really cheap one from ebuyer which cost like 4 quid
