Which Bluetooth USB dongle?

[Guest renegade722]

Hi,

I've been reading threads about getting control over Windows Media Player from my C500, and I really want to do it too, but I'm having difficulty finding decent reviews for the bluetooth usb dongle I'll need for my PC.

Ideally I'd like one with at least 100m range, so I can sync from anywhere in the house, and play my music from the garden. Also, I'm going to upgrade my phone in the near future so I'd like it to be capable of communicating with later smartphones too (using bluetooth 2.0)

Can anyone please advise me on what a good one might be for these purposes. Thanks a lot for your help everyone

Communication is bidirectional unless i'm missing something, so you'll be limited by the ability of your phone's range which is like 10M...

Anyhow, I went for the cheapest solution and it works great, except for the crappy range, can't even leave the room lol

Thanks for that. I guess you're probably right about the bidirectionality being limited by the phone. Can anyone shed some light on the range limitations they have experienced trying to control WMP?
