Which Bluetooth adaptor to get (in the UK)?

The Bluetooth installation guides I've seen have used the Kensington Micro USB Bluetooth adaptor, I'm struggling to get hold of one of these in the UK, are there any others that would be a reasonable substitution?

Alternatively, can someone tell me where to get a Kensington?!

Thanks,
Geoff

 

TBH most of BT adapters will work. I've got Belkin taken from PC World for £20 on one PC and no-name MicroUSB Bluetooth Dongle from China for £5 on another PC. Both works fine with Linux and Windows...

 

i have one of these badboys on mine, they're great and never need to be removed

No, no, no... That's mine dongle... I was talking about this one exactly...

 

ya, ya, ya

great aren't they?

 

i have exactly the same one as you guys ;-)

i think they're just fine for the job...

 

I've finally found the dongle from an EBay shop in Australis via Hong Kong........But the description says it only works with Windows. Has anyone got this working with the standard AA1 Linpus Lite ??

 

It's a lie!! Never believe anyone who's selling stuff "only for Windows"...

Linux is very well prepared to operate with all standard Bluetooth dongles w/o any magic tricks like activating card via software...

 

Many thanks - I'll give it a go - it's hardley a major investment!

 

Tescos sell tiny USB bluetooth adaptors.

 

I've now got my no-name dongle - but I have no idea as to how to install it! (Linux rookie big time!)
I've got a cd with what I presume are drivers for the bluetooth device but I don't know what to with it!

Any help greatly appreciated!

 

I'm still hoping someone can help me on this one !!

 

Have a look at viewtopic.php?f=36&t=789 but be warned that the instructions are still quite technical and people are still having some difficulties.

 

I'll second that, I'm no linux virgin but I am new to bluetooth config and it is quite a lengthy process.

My cheap BT dongle from novatech works though.
