Am about to buy a bluetooth dongle and wanted to ask you that does it come with the software cd? I read somewhere on esato that it does not work on Windows if XP Service Pack 2 is not installed.
Is it true? Please help? I have a k700i.

All bluetooth dongles come with a driver cd.
And the biggest proof that a bt dongle can work without SP2 is me, myself..
I am on a pc without sp2 and the dongle works ok..

But, if u have sp2 installed, plug in the bt dongle directly without installing the drivers and see whether the built in bt drivers in xp recognises it..
If not, then try with the drivers installed..

Thanks mate. Can you tell which cell you have and what the transfer speed is.And also what brand dongle you have? I have decided to go in for one which costs Rs 500.

Mine is a Microsim one.. i had another two earlier which refsed to work with nokias so borrowed this one from mrao...

Go for good brands like billionton or microsim..
Don't really know much about the transfer speeds...

I have an MSI one for some time now.
Works a treat (besides some initial COM0: problems... ... but it was my fault )

I got one yesterday. The shop didnt have a Microsim So I installed the Blusoliel 1.6 drivers that came with it in a mini cd and after installing the software doesnt detect the dongle . It still says 'please insert bluetooth device'. Please help. I have windows xp sp1 installed.

In the above posts whizkidd has mentioned that he doesnt have sp2 then also his dongle works fine.
