Bluetooth software

Crixus00 · 26 Feb 2009 at 19:51

I have what appears to be a working Bluetooth USB dongle but no software for it to get it communicating to my laptop. I don't know the manufacturer.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some nice free software? I tried googling, but that just comes up with bits and pieces that turn out to be not very functional demo's.

Thanks.

Any kind of numbers, text, anything visible on it at all?

Good point, I didn't check through device manager. I was looking on the packaging it came in and got very frustrated. If it helps, i got it as part of a platinum pack for the E71 from a popular online mobile accessory shop.

I have sent them an email asking for assistance but i wanted a quick solution last night.

It will be a couple of days before i get back home to have a look.

it's probably one of the crappy 'bluesolil' ones

ask on here for the model number of one that 'just works' with windows drivers and save yourself any heartache

there's a lot of really crap bluetooth dongles out there :/

Im not sure what you mean? model number of one that 'just works'??

many of them, you just plug them in and windows has the driver already, meaning you don't need to install a thing
