Hey !

Where can I find a (cheap) USB-bluetooth dongle that works in Max OS X ?

The cheapest I've seen are about 90 euro, and that's but not really cheap..

I got a mitsumi one of ebay for about £35, and it works perfectly with all the features and i have no problems linking to my T610.

You could try somewhere like http://www.dabs.com and they also sell them on the official Apple site store.

Good to see another Mac user on the boards

I just bought one at ebay as well !

So, do you normally need to install drivers for the dongle or does the bluetooth thing in OS X find the dongle when you plug it in ?

Drivers are not required in MacOS X. Just plug it in and it works (no messing around for days like on a PC!!)

After plugging it in, just go to the "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" found in Applications > Utilities. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your phone and that Visibility is set to Show Phone, then follow the on screen instructions. It's very simple.

Download Salling Clicker from www.salling.com and have fun!!

Oh yes they are - they just come included in OS X - which is why you can't use all hardware with Macs.

Exactly, that's why I said they're not required... you've already got them.
