Recomend a bluetooth dongle.

Can anyone recommend a USB Bluetooth dongle for connecting to my 6600. I have an MSI BToes but the software is unreliable and locks everytime I connect to the phone. Manages a connect, then stops responding. Tried the software updates and have the same problem. Browsing various forums it seems I am not alone.

So looking for something to replace it. Needs to be USB as its for a desktop.

Try this little fellow.I also had to make a decision about buying one of these for my 6230 after reading so many reviews i was stuck until i tried this, but it works a treat with my nokia suite and the software which is on the disc.

I`ve read so many negative reviews of Nokia`s bluetooth drivers, that I have decided to go for an infra-red adaptor for my 6600.
I found one on http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=UFNTaG93UmVzdWx0cw%3D%3D"" target="_blank">Ebuyer which is well reviewed including users with 6600`s, bonus is it only costs £ 15.00 including VAT and delivery.

But it isnt Nokia`s driver. It was the MSI device that has the problem. Even without Nokia data suite installed on my PC, the software for BT was locking up.

Hi,

I`ve been using a D-Link DBT-120 for a few weeks now without any trouble. I use it with a Sony Ericsson T630 and the wife uses it with a Motorola V600. Gives a reasonable range with a good connection speed.

Cheers,
Nick
