What Others Say
Works as advertised and provides value.
Works great in my Dell 700m laptop.
I use it with my iogear bluetooth mouse and recently started using it with my plantronics voyager 510 bluetooth headset.
Never had a problem with it. Has a blinking bluetooth light on the side to let you know it's activated. Some may find this annoying, but it doesn't bother me.
While it does have an extend able antenna, I've never had to make use of it.
Works as advertised. Second Zoom product that I'm happy with. Great value with Zoom in my experience thus far.
great idea - flaky product
I bought that card a bit more than a year ago.
I love it because it fits *inside* my laptop and does not stick out too much. Also there is no risk of loosing it as with a USB dongle.
The problem I have is that it does not always wake up from "sleep" mode.
I have to manually disable/enable the port and that's frustrating.
It worked fine for a year; this problem appeared a few months ago.
I reinstalled windows XP but it does not seem to be an OS issue.
Great little gadget
This thing worked out of the box, although the included software did improve some of the functionality. Good range and stability.
Very nice!!
It is easy to install, just reboot your computer two or three times.. and it ready to work with an average range of 25 feet.
Works fine for me.
Bluetooth PC card works better than inboard hardware on Lenovo laptop
I had nothing but trouble with the built-in Bluetooth capabilities on my Lenovo T61 laptop and opted to buy a PC card to use, instead. I chose the card over the USB version because of its lower profile antenna. Installation was a trouble-free plug and play experience. All my Bluetooth peripheral devices were recognized right away and they've stayed connected.
