C500 - Thinking about buying a bluetooth adapter

[Guest Raveot]

If I would buy a bluetooth adapter, what should I think of? Are there differences in features and transfer speeds etc.? Can I buy the cheapest one I find or is better to with a known brand like D-Link for example? Also, how long does it take to transfer a mp3 with bluetooth?

I bought one for under a tenner from mobymemory. It works well - just don't install the software that comes with it, use the basic Windows drivers and follow the guide to BT ActiveSyncing that's somewhere on this forum (sorry haven't got the link but a search should turn it up).

Mine works fine for syncing, but file transfer is hit and miss (however I have the same issues using the cable so perhaps your "mileage may vary").

got myself a cheapie off ebay

works with c500 and other halfs sony erik 750

idont bother syncing using the adapter i use for transferring files (photos vids mp3s etc)

i found the win xp software a bit naff and hit or miss - installed the software that came with dongle and although confusing at first soon got used to it and now works a treat

i bought one of these
