P3500 in Officenter in Parksquare 1... in front of JB Music. Seems to be priced the same throughout the city... so just go to the place most convenient.
I'm pretty happy with it... simple straightforward. Although it does get a bit confused when you have more than one BT modem within range and you're trying to do dial-up. I don't know if it's just the SW it came with, the plug itself, or just inherent to BT in general.
It does automatically install BT drivers for just about everything, BT LAN, Device Sync, BT Printer, File Exchange, BT Dial-up networking, BT Serial Ports (Adds Virtual Com ports 4-16 I think), and BT Fax.
I like the interface, and the cute BT logo on the taskbar. It doesn't light up though...but I wasn't really keen on another useless power draining thing on my laptop.
Range is ok... If MSI's range is really 100 ft line-of-sight... then that IS the best I've seen so far...even 3Com's is only 30ft max... the Billionton is about 20 ft line-of-sight to your PC, and about 10 ft if there's a concrete wall between the two.
The SW also has a signal strength indicator, it shows how strong the signal is to any Bluetooth device... I'm planning to buy an extension cable so that the plug is away from my PC housing when I plug it into my desktop.

Hi jplacson,
I bought billionton BT two weeks ago. It works fine with PBTM and XTND.
Have you tried to use it with to GPRS of T68 ?
Do you know how to set up the connection ?
Cheers

I suggest that you look at the other
thread discussion.
Principles are generally the same for setting up connectivity between your phone and PC.

@madness, you need to create a dial-up networking profile to use your T68 as a modem via bluetooth.

Yes, I have used it with the GPRS of the T68
Although it's Globe's reception that is very erratic.. when I am able to get a good signal...speed is pretty decent.. I can average a normal 28.8 connection. Yahoo video conferencing is bearable.

Managed to connect with T68i GPRS. The billionton USB Bluetooth is pretty simple to configure.
