 Great adapter.. driver update is a little hard to find June 28, 2006
Kaushik Raghavan (IL United States)
Love the adapter. I got this about 3 years back and it is still running solid. I downloaded a driver update at some point that migrated me from Widcomm 1.1 software to the next version. This added more BT profiles and is also way more stable. Once in a while I see a error message from windows sayng that it is 'unable to start Bluetooth stack' or something like that right after booting up. I'd have to reboot to get bluetooth working again. So there are some minor software issues with windows. But not that big of an annoyance.
 Buying my second August 1, 2004
YaG (Yet another Geek) (Savannah, GA USA)
Bluetooth isn't for everybody. You have to understand which devices provide what services, how to discover device, and how to pair devices. It isn't like the wireless ethernet stuff that you buy and it just runs out of the box. Once you conquer it though it is just too cool.
My wife is a mobile network. She has her bluetooth enabled cellphone, bluetooth earbud for the phone, and bluetooth pda. We have a hawking bluetooth usb adapter connected to the computer at home. So, with this, my wife can do hands free calls with her cell phone with no wires... she can even be up to 30 feet from the phone and still talking on it with her earbud. She can surf the internet with Internet Explorer with her IPaq PDA through GPRS on her cellphone (up to 115 Kbps for free on t-mobile) and of course get her email on her IPaq instead of using the keyboard interface on her telephone she is using Windows 2003 Mobile. She is also able to synch her pda and phone using the bluetooth so she doesn't have to hook it up with the usb cable.
We're getting the second adapter now because she has gotten a laptop. She can now carry her laptop and get the same surfing capabilities and so on using the bluetooth and the phone's communications abilities.
Bottom line is that the investment of thirty bucks and the time to figure out how to make this thing to work can really be worth while if it is what you need. You'd have a hard time taking my bluetooth away from me!
 Just alright: Bluetooth is not ready for primetime. May 22, 2004
J. D. Moore
I wasn't too impressed with this dongle, which is why I turned around and sold it. Bottomline: it installed simply in WinXP, and did connect to my Palm Tungsten successfully. But Bluetooth is just not ready for prime time. Which I suppose is not the fault of this HT adapter, but the fault of the IEEE. However, as far as this product goes, the software worked very well and the signal strength in my apartment was always good. The constant need to validate connection on both the handheld and the PC was the deal breaker for me. If I'm 25 feet away and want to access an email or webpage, it's a massive pain in the backside to have to get up and walk over to the computer in order to accept the BT connection. And it entirely defeats the purpose of having a wireless device in the first place!
 New driver on CD works with Nokia 3650 but will expire April 16, 2004

I bought the dongle to use with my nokia 3650. The supplied driver version is 1.4.2.10. The setup took minutes and it worked fine on both Windows XP professional and Win98SE desktops. However, within a few weeks, the drivers stops working, prompting "Bluetooth license check failed." Hawkings support has not returned my emails after two weeks.
Great Purchase! February 24, 2004

Any person can use without any problems, its easy to install and to use. It detects bluetooth devices fast and connects with them even faster. I definetly recommend it.
