> Bluetooth v2.0- 3 to 10 times fater (K750i)
Bookmark topic
I use a Belkin (F8T008uk) USB Bluetooth Dongle thats V1.1 and 1.2 compatible. But i never realised that the K750i supports V2.0 which can transfer at speeds of up to 3 times faster than previous versions (in some cases up to 10 times faster).
Just wondering if anyone has a V2.0 USB Bluetooth dongle and whether or not it actually speeds up bluetooth. I'm vry curious as to whether or not bluetooth is as slow as people say (and that maybe it's cuz their devices are v1.1 or v1.2).

Yes it does speed up.
Ive got the same dongle, and it doesnt work anymore since updating to SP2 for XP. Think yourself lucky, Belkins tech support is dire.

THere are a few that are out there just do a google search. however DLINK has already announced an update to their DBT-120 for BT v2.0+EDR; not the current ones.

I recently bought a PowerBook 17" and the transfer rate rocketed up, It's about 70KB/s now when sending anything to the phone. Not sure about the other way around...

So bluetooth isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be i guess...
I think i can live with a v1.2 dongle, i mostly use a card reader to transfer files, i hate the using the bluetooth interface and OBEX transfer system to send/receive files- it always seems abit dodgy.

@etaab I also have a Belkin dongle and it is temperamental at best.
Can anyone tell me how their phones go on Macs? Esp. concerning the backup of messages and contacts, etc.
How do you go about updating firmware from a Mac?

Thanks, max - I'll look into that one.
An addition to Bluetooth connectivity posting (and hopefully not too much off-topic) - I was wondering your thoughts on GRPS in Australia? Currently for me on Telstra it is dashingly expensive! With no capped option in reach. Do you foresee any change on the horizon with the new EDGE phones?
Do you think Telstra will ever follow suit with the rest of the globe?

@ jasond & Max; please wait for the newer v2.0 BT USB Dongle to arrive; I know Max as myself both have the DBT-120 which is very good; BUT you must install the Widcomm drivers to get the best - dont just suffice with WinXP SP2 drivers which WILL be installed initially (because of course their Windows Signed drivers).
