    Bluetooth Dongle & Vista

    Can anyone recommend a cheap bluetooth dongle that works under Vista using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.
    My current dongle works under bluesoleil but then isnt recognised from within Vista for the "Mobile Centre" to sync with my HTC Touch via bluetooth

    Re: Bluetooth Dongle & Vista

    I've got a Belkin one that worked just fine, don't use it on my Vista machine any more but it worked perfectly with my phone when I did. Think it cost about £14 when I bought it but that was a few years ago now.

    Re: Bluetooth Dongle & Vista

    This is the one I got. Works for XP but Vista should have its own Bluetooth stack/drivers/

    Re: Bluetooth Dongle & Vista

    Hi,

    I'm using this "World's smallest" nano dongle with Vista and it works fine. It's a bit fiddly to pull in and out, but ideal if you want something unobtrusive!
