Ok product.
Not very sturdy construction but the bluetooth works well.
Bundled software is terrible. (trial version lol)

Your Package Includes: Bluetooth USB Adapter, CD-ROM with Manual and Utilities. I only received my Bluetooth USB Adapter, therefore I can not use my device properly!
Rating: - Does not work with Vista
I bought this to use a bluetooth headset with skype and to transfer files between my phone. I've been unable to do either. I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit and though windows can find a default driver for the USB device there are no drivers for anything Bluetooth peripheral you might try to connect. The software, even the latest version downloaded from the manufacturer, crashes the instant vista boots preventing you from using any bluetooth device with your computer.
I tried the same thing on XP and it worked fine. The software installed like it was supposed to and I could pair my devices with it. The problem is I don't use XP on my main computer and this means the device is almost worthless to me. At least I didn't pay too much for it.
Rating: - Making profit in shipping charges.
The product works quite well. I have already used a couple of these units for instrument control. I have no issues with the units. I purchase 5 then a couple minutes later I purchased 15 more for a total of 20 units. My issue is with mailing. The vendor charged a per / piece shipping charge. For the fifteen units I was charged $34.95 for the items and $46.25 for shipping. For the five piece order I was charged $11.65 for the items and $16.75 for shipping and handling. The total shipping for twenty units came to $63.00. All twenty units were shipped in a single box for $5.55. The result is a 74% profit and a $57.45 shipping and handling charge for a small book box that only weighs under a pound.
No one will take responsibility for this error. I have been gathering and sorting this out. When I picked this package up from the post office I showed the counter clerk this information. I was told that if I was charged a per piece price that there should have been 20 receipts, twenty tracking and insurance slips and twenty packages. Placing 5 units in a bag inside a box with 15 other units and charging a per piece price is not right. I would advise buyers to always check their bills and see what was charged for what. I do not think that Using the United States Postal Service for making a profit is right. Do you?
