XP & Bluetooth

[PeterO]

I have a PC running XP Home with USB 2 ports.
I also have a Nokia 6300 mobile phone and a Palm T|X handheld PDA.

I understand that the best way to get them talking to each other is with a
"USB Dongle".

Amazon is awash with "dongles", is any one better than the others, what is
recommended?

Needless to say, I am a novice when it comes to "Bluetooth".

Hi Peter , I`m a novice as well , but I`m quite happy with this one

you have to register , and pay postage ( couple £`s ) ; it does the
job .

I picked up a D-Link DBT-120 for about $5 on ebay. Should cost about the
same in either the USA or the UK - the current strength of the £ offsets
the extra postage. Should also hold true in the Euro zone.

I got my employer to send me a keyboard with integral USB ports and the
DBT-120 looks very festive there with its pair of twinkling green LED's.
