I use it for my hackintosh and it works out of the box and all devices sync and transfer files properly!

Sure it's not as small as the micro adapters but it's a solid and well built device!

Highly recommended!

This product does not work with Windows Vista. When I got it it would not install properly. I went to D-Link's web site to see if there was an updated driver but it showed that they did not have drivers for Vista. I called D-Link's sales department, as it is impossible to get to a "live person" in their technical support department, and the sales rep told me that they do not have a driver for this device for use on PCs running Vista.

I gave it 3 stars because the only problem with it is crappy documentation. The Device itself works flawlessly and I give that 5 stars. I have a Vista Machine and i was having problems like others mentioned, However the fixed proved surprisingly easy. I uninstalled all the crap the disc installed on my pc.
Works flawlessly ever since, connected a Bluetooth Logitech Mediaboard Pro and a Cellphone and it works great.

So for any others who cant get it working on vista do yourself a favor and throw the manual and the disc out and trust vista to install it and set the bluetooth for Discoverable mode.

The only one tested by Apple that works with new Apple Bluetooth mouse and keyboard devices. A must.

I bought this so I could connect my samsung/t mobile 429 cell phone to my pc. Found out my cell phone will only connect to a bluetooth headset and cannot connect to my pc via bluetooth. I sent the item back but it seemed to work just fine. FYI check your manual before buying this item for cell phone.

I bought this to use the Apple wireless keyboard with my Mac Pro and had no problems at installation by following the instructions on Apples site. It has been in use a few weeks now and still working well.

it does not say anywhere on the documentation of the item that it is not Windows vista compatible. I tried to look for drivers and there are none to speak of. Unfortunately I wasn't able to return this item because my housekeeper accidentally threw it away. If you don't have vista I'm sure it works fine.

I'm giving my Mac Cube a well deserved renovation, a face lift inside and out. I simply plugged into the USB hidden below and within seconds POW! BAM! I've got Bluetooth. My Mac Cube asked me if I wanted to set up any Bluetooth devices and I easily paired an Apple wireless keyboard and a Logitech mouse that looked and functioned like they all belonged at birth NINE YEARS ago. If I could only order the rest of my life so elegantly and efficient.

Hi, I bought Dlink Bluetooth and I found was I looking for, Audio Gateway bluetooth support. Excelent products

DLink's DBT 120 (version C) isn't worth the frustration - have installed, uninstalled and repeated so many times, and the foolish thing still isn't working.

An exercise in futility... don't buy it!!

This product seems to get a lot of low ratings because mainly the other reviewers are not tech savvy have no idea what they are doing. I use my D-Link to do anything from use my BlueAntz Z9 bluetooth headset on Teamspeak/Ventrilo/Skype to transferring files from my PC to my phone. I even make my own ringtones! You can do many things with this product and I highly suggest it. Don't listen to the other reviews if you know what you're doing with a computer. Just make sure you get the proper drivers required or else you will be in the same boat as everybody else.

No problems loading and works fine. I would given it 5 stars if it wasn't made in China. I use it for file transfer to my phone from my computer. No complaints.

This adapter was difficult to install. I had to get D-Link's assistance. Once installed, it kept uninstalling. I bought it to link my cell phone to my computer. During the attempt to pair the cell phone to the computer, I was asked to provide a passcode, which I couldn't find, so the whole thing was an exercise in frustration. I ended up buying a USB cable to link the phone to the computer.

This didn't work with my laptop/phone combination [IBM ThinkPad T43 / LG enV]. Amazon was great about returning it and I received a full refund and they paid for shipping!

Switched to Vista 64-bit, but part of the problem with that is that some devices no longer worked via usb due to a lack of drivers - my palm for example and my cell phone. Bluetooth seemed to be my only workaround for it but that meant finding a bluetooth adapter that works with Vista x64. I got this adapater, plugged it in and hoped for the best. Vista installed it without a hitch. My palm and cell phone have had no issues working with it. Plus that's two less usb cables I need to keep around.

it did not do what it was purchased to do
and help/support is not available

dont waste your money

Yesterday I received my D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth adapter and spent 2 hours trying to get it installed and talking to my Bluetooth Nokia cell phone. The CD installation disc did not work as I have Windows Vista. Next I downloaded new Windows Vista compatible software from Toshiba. After two attempts, it finally installed and it found my Nokia cell phone. But no matter what I did, it refused to connect my PC to my cell phone. Just a "connection failed" message and no further help. If you have Windows Vista, put this item on your "Do Not Buy" List. Oh yes, I contacted D-Link before purchasing it, and they said it is Windows Vista compatible.

I finally installed Nokia software and got the system to work. But for what one must go through to get Bluetooth to work, it's not worth the effort!

I strongly recommend that one should purchase a hardwire connector for use in connecting a PC to a cell phone.

This item did not work on my HP laptop. It did work on my wife's Toshiba laptop. Worked well (when it worked). Could have been an issue with my laptop (my usb ports are usb 1.1 not 2.0 - wouldn't think that would matter, but who knows).

It was easy to install. If you are using a Palm device you cannot access internet unless you have a bluetooth enabled phone that can connect to the internet.

This product just works perfect. I can say that for MacOS, don't know about windows. Plug it into the USB port, and start sync my motorola phone in seconds.

It's not a big thing, but the version of this adapter that is shipped now does not look like the one pictured and is a newer version (C1) that does not allow a wireless keyboard or mouse to wake a sleeping Mac even with a download of the firmware upgrade available through Apple online support. Older versions of this adapter (such as B2) will allow the waking function with the firmware upgrade. I have an iMac G5 running OS X 5.0.1 (Leopard). I received the adapter yesterday and its install was very easy, basically plug-and-play. It works perfectly with my wireless keyboard and mouse once computer is awakened using old wired mouse.

Among the bluetooth adapters available at the time I made this purchase, the D-Link had the best track record. It's not the rock-bottom cheapest, but believe me when I say the few extra dollars are worth it in headache prevention.

The package comes with three things: the dongle, which is about the size of your thumb knuckle (smaller than the average thumb drive); a usb extension cable, which is really handy if your usb ports are a little close together; the driver disc.

One word of caution: ignore the setup instructions-do NOT install the driver disc!! For some devices, particularly smart phones like the Blackberry, the D-Link drivers will not work properly. Have no fear, though- this actually makes things easier for you. You just plug in the dongle and away you go. Windows XP has built-in support that works flawlessly with my Blackberry Curve. I sync my phone, transfer files, and everything else without any problems whatsoever.

Overall I am extremely happy with this device and would buy it again without hesitation.

PS- I have heard of problems with this device and Windows Vista. All I can say there is Vista is already notorious for bugs, problems, etc. If you're using Vista, consider "downgrading" to XP.

This product works very well for what I need it for. I use it to send ringtones, themes, wallpapers, pictures, music, games and such to my phone from my computer. It makes sending and receiving things to and from my computer and phone very simple. The best part about it for me is that I can make my own ringtones on my computer from my music then use this bluetooth adapter to send it to my phone so I don't have to spend any money on cool ringtones. I even have an older macintosh computer and it works great! I recommend this product who needs to adapt their computer device to use bluetooth.

While I am an old time computer user (started in 1968) I have never owned a bluetooth device until I was recently acquired a Motorola RAZR. I looked around for a way to get the music and ring tones from my older Mac (G4 running OS X 10.4.11) to the RAZR. I found the D-Link device and saw many positive reviews so I ordered one. It arrived and with much fanfare, I opened the box then inserted the device into the end of the USB extension cable. This cable is a high quality shielded cable about 28 inches long I leave plugged into my Adaptec powered hub since my computer does not have a USB port on the front.

I then spent over 4 hours trying to figure out why the bluetooth preference did not show up in the set of system preferences. No mater what I tried it was not there, the bluetooth preference had disappeared. I read the manual, searched the vendor web site, and searched Apples web site all with with no luck.

The most irritating part was that it worked perfectly for my wife on her e-mac. She just plugged it in, opened the system preferences selected bluetooth, followed the on screen directions and installed her ring tone. ( And I am supposed to be the computer expert in our house... Grrrr..)

After I slept on the matter, I unplugged the adaptor from the cable and inserted it directly into the Adaptec powered hub (Not sure why I thought of this) and presto all was right with the world. The setup was a breeze, and I now drag and drop files to and from the RAZR v3xx in true Mac fashion with no problem. (My wife used the USB port on the side of her computer the first time)

Thus in two out of two tries, the device works exactly as advertised - right out of the box. I just wish someone somewhere had told me to beware of cables and plug the device directly into the computer port. Perhaps after you read this you will know to remove the cable if your bluetooth system preference does not show up.

Tried for hours to get this adapter to work with my Treo 680. My device is detected when I use the adapter, but I am unable to make a connection. Finally, called D-Link technical support. First response was that they had never heard of the product; next response was that I needed to select a different number on the support phone tree; last response was that the problem was probably with my mobile provider or PC. After many hours of installing and reinstalling the product; and trying to have my mobile provider detect any problems with data service; and contacting Palm technical support (waste of time since Palm wound up referring me to User Guide), I finally gave up.....and have returned the product. This should not be a difficult product to install, and is not worth the time and effort to teach the D-Link technical support individuals about their product.

I opted for this rather than the Apple kit since it was less expensive and much easier to install to add Bluetooth to my PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7. Works flawlessly with my Apple wireless keyboard and didn't require any software install, OS X Tiger 10.4 treats it just like the native device. Perfect.

I like this adapter beause it works great with my Fedora Core linux OS. I didn't have to install additional software or spend long time to configure it.

I purchased this product to transfer some files from a cell phone to a new cell. I was too lazy to retype every contact I have there. And laziness is truly a vice!

Anyways back to the issue. I have a Toshiba A75-s229 laptop with two network adapters Atheros AR 5004G Wireless and Realtek RLT8139, XP Pro SP2. The installation went smoothly. I restarted the PC as needed. The setup prompted with a message describing certain possible Wireless card issues that might occur as the result of Bluetooth installation. Fine...

I turned the installed program on (for some reason it is a 30-day evaluation version) and got stuck on a part where it asked me to type a Device PIN to authorize communication between my PC and cell phone. I wasn't exactly sure what my default PIN was so I decided to google the whole process up. Here is when the fun began!

My wireless connection was enabled, but had a huge red cross over the icon. So I right clicked to fix it. Not only that I couldn't, I couldn't even disable/enable it in the Network Connections. But anyways, the program sincerely warned me about possible wireless card issues, right? So I plugged an Ethernet cable. But soon realized that my LAN connection is also completely messed up! I couldn't disable it. But the funny part was that even if I would get the cable out, the icon would show that my connection is up and running :)My whole PC was all of a sudden very slow. (while the CPU Usage was at 2%)

Ipconfig would bring nothing (as if I don't even have any network interface) Msconfig wouldn't even show this utility in the startup items. Restarting took me more than 30minutes. (I ended up using on/off button).And no it wasn't the anti-virus.

I tried to uninstall the program. After 60min my nerves have finally been defeated. I tried to cancel the uninstall- which after 15min told me that it was canceled. I went to the Safe mode to uninstall it from there. Guess what? the program didn't even showed up in the Add/Remove menu :) But the PC was still completely messed up. No network, no automatic shutdown (only on/off switch :) ) I ended up using System Restore to restore it to couple of hours before the D-Link device setup.

Thank God it works as it did before!

Here is the funny part. I have a second, old HP, laptop. (No Wireless Card) Installed the D-Link: WORKS. (Still 30-day evaluation version of the software, but at least it WORKS)

I am not really sure what caused the problem on my Toshiba. But I know one thing-DLink Bluetooth is going back to where it came from tomorrow morning!

So here is my advice to all the people that like me will buy the product despite all the warnings and all the negative experiences of the [...] shoppers:

Before you install it make sure that you create a SYSTEM RESTORE Checkpoint. So you can roll back all you device drivers and settings in a case that something goes wrong...

Best of luck.

This product works great with my Logitech Bluetooth mouse. I didn't even install any software- my Laptop came with Windows Vista and Toshiba "Bluetooth Stack"-

I plugged it in and didn't need to install any drivers. It found my mouse right away. I can unplug it and plug it back in, and it immediately is configured, no messing around with waiting for it to find the device again, etc...

The only Cons are that this DOES NOT SUPPORT A2DP audio streaming. (Per an email from their tech support I finally got back today.) I wanted to get some headphones to listen to my laptop but all the headphone reviews say that if you don't have A2DP then it will sound "tinny". (so minus 2 Stars!)

And I wish I'd gotten a PCMCIA adapter so I don't worry about busting this dongle-type device off.

Otherwise it works just as it should and I'm pretty happy with it- I just need to 'upgrade' to a newer one I guess..

I got this for the sole purpose of using my bluetooth headphone as wireless headphone for my pc. Within seconds was able to use it.

During installation,the pc kind of acts crazy with multiple pop ups but eventually the installation went fine.

Had it for about a week. Works fine on a mac mini using a mighty mouse and the new (Oct 2007) apple wireless keyboard MB167ll/a.

For two USB slots, once you put this bluetooth you can not use the other port because its thickness interferes with other USB use!!

Windows Vista doesn't completely recognize the device when you plug it in, and while it then recognized my Bluetooth headset it would not communicate with the headset at all. When I tried installing the software from the included CDROM, Vista blocked the installation as incompatible, and Vista sent me to a TOSHIBA website! Oops. The drivers which were installed show up in Device Manager as Toshiba drivers, not DLink.

Toshiba absolutely refuses to talk to me about it, and DLink says it will not work with Vista and I should return it for a refund.

DLink has NO PLANS TO SUPPORT VISTA. They don't have drivers, they say they're not working on drivers, and they say there is no schedule under which they intend to ship drivers. (OK, all of that was said by someone in India, and who knows if they know actual DLink policy.)

Others have said this product works with Vista. Well, in my case (a new HP Media Center PC), not only does the software fail to install, it modifies my desktop and screws things up bad enough that I had to use System Restore to back up to a checkpoint. Nice feature of Vista... checkpoints are automatically created often enough that you don't have to remember to make one before installing.

Lesson learned. If their website says "XP SP2 or higher", that means it only works on XP. Nowhere else. Now I wonder if Amazon will take it back?

Powerful bluetooth dongle... All what i expected.
Allows to connect, whatever PDA/Bluetooth Headset(and use it as headphones for music in high quality, or for Skype-msn as headset+mic)/Cell phone (SonyEricsson)... No problem with drivers compatibility with windows XP. No system crash as i experienced with other bluetooth dongles... and good transmission power (about 10 m from my desktop).

Thanks & Good job D-link

I bought this Bluetooth adapter to HotSync my Palm Treo 680 - it costs less than another cable from Palm and it can do more. I have Windows XP Home SP2. I didn't use the D-Link CD to install the adapter (after reading other people's experiences). I just plugged it into the USB port and it worked perfectly. Following the instructions in the Treo manual helped a little.

A few days later, it didn't connect when I tried to HotSync. It appeared to be a Palm problem, and after a soft reset on the Treo it worked again. The DBT-120 is listed in the Palm knowledge base as being compatible with Treo 680.

Some notes on this adapter: The one I received is black with red logo, not gray and blue as shown. It is the model shown on D-Link's website. It comes with a USB extension cable. It is USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 2.0. I haven't found the range to be all that great, but the package states "up to 30 ft." (Class 2 ???)

I also tried the DBT-120 with my wife's Motorola Razor V3 and it worked great to send and receive pictures between the phone and the PC.

Great product.
