Summary: the easiest way to sync up T610 cellphone with your computer
Review: ...If you want to transfer files(photos,midi) or syn up Microsoft Outlook (calendar,contacts,tasks) with your T610, this is the right product you need. It's easy to do setup in winXP. Just plug in and install the drivers. That's it ! Then your T610 will show as a new device in XP. You can freely move files to/from T610 by just one click and sync up your Outlook fast and easily.

Summary: The Drivers on the CD will not work.... have to download..
Review: After 'wrestling' with the documentation and alot of websites on the Internet, I finally got the DBT-120 to work with my Nokia 6600.

My first objection is that the drivers on the CD do not work. Essentially, this means that you have to download NEW drivers from the dlink website. The important lesson is to know what 'hardware revision' of the adapter are you using. B1 or B2 or B3 etc. It's clearly printed on the dongle itself. Second, note down which version of the CD came with you Adapter ... this will help you decide which drivers to download from the Dlink website.

Once downloaded, you might run into trouble when you run Nokia's PC Suite... which is the software that allows you to backup your contacts, do synchronization with Outlook etc etc.

Visit dlink Austalia website at www.dlink.com.au and they have some nice pdf files telling you how to make the Nokia software work with the DBT-120 adapter.

It's working now. Ask me and it wasnt a 'smoooth install'.

Also, the drivers dont support windows 2003 platform.

Summary: it's working very well with my SonyEricsson T610 !!
Review: After I installed driver to my notebook(win-XP), T610 got connected right away.
Now I can syn up my outlook with T610 without any problem.
Win-XP treats the T610 as a device and I can freely move picture,ring tones and themes between my notebook and T610.
Now dealing the pictures token by T610 won't be a headache any more.

Summary: Revision Licensing
Review: Be aware that older revisions of the dbt-120 (see technical support with D-Link to determine current version) are not compatible with the newest available drivers. This leads to default use of older drivers and the inability to network with some other bluetooth devices (e.g. dbt-320).

Summary: Avoid this product and it's terrible support
Review: Couldn't get this to work properly with XP despite 15 hours effort & 23 contacts with 'support' representatives, over 3 weeks. They got me to try everything except buy a dongle from another company, which I should have done after the first hour. The support was terrible throughout. Even the '3rd line' representatives knew nothing & had to keep emailing 'Taiwan' who made useful suggestions like "try a parallel install of Windows XP".

Summary: Got it working under Windows 98SE with some effort
Review: For those who have an older computer like me, I was able to get this device working under Windows 98SE. As earlier reviews state, the Rev 4 drivers on the CD that came with the product don't work. DLink support said that if the Mac ID (on the label on the device) begins with 000D, I would need to download the Rev B3 drivers from dlink's support site, then get a 32 digit security code (check the PDF install instructions on the support site for how to get the code).

When you install the drivers from the CD, if you get an error "Valid security code not found" when you plug in the device, then you have the same problem. Running the install program again will uninstall the drivers. Unfortunately, the Rev B3 drivers are an 18mb download from Dlink.

But, after installing the B3 drivers, I was able to get the device working with my Motorola V551 phone.

Summary: Refuses to work and verry poor customer service
Review: I am a computer savvy person, and know how to install things.

This installation was the worst one ive ever seen so far.

I install it, and when i double click on the blue tooth icon in the system tray, it does not do anything!

called customer service, and they keep escalating it upwards, and make you wait for a long time.

i will return this one and buy the one from linksys. i should not have bought this one after reading all the negative reviews.

:...( , waste of time and money

Summary: haven't tried on a PC, but works great on a mac
Review: I bought this adapter to sync my iBook and my t68i. I feel bad for the people having problems with it on the PC side, because I've had no problems whatsoever. If you own a mac that doesn't have bluetooth, this little thing will give it to you hassle free. Just plug it in, the mac will detect it, and off you go.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dont Buy This Product!
Review: I bought this bluetooth USB adapter and it did not work! I try and try and I cannot get it to sync with my Palm Tungsten T! I am using Windows XP, and followed the directions exactly! Dont even try to get the tech support to help you! I waited for more than an hour 3 TIMES! I connected to a representative and he did now know what the product was, or how to help me! HE DID NOT EVEN HAVE A SOFTWARE EMULATER FOR THE SOFTWARE HE TRIED TO HELP ME WITH! it was all bad. . .

Summary: Does work with Nokia 3650!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I bought this product for use with my Nokia 3650 (AT&T Wireless). Although the installation was somewhat difficult, the device works great.

Download the PC Suite software from Nokia's website and install it. PC Suite will not work until you connect the cell phone to the computer for the first time, so don't bother opening it yet. Install the D-Link software. Ignore the boxes stating that the software is not supported by Windows XP, it does work. Turn on your cell phone and turn on Bluetooth, leaving it within a reasonable distance of your computer. Make sure the Nokia software is told to search ALL BLUETOOTH COM PORTS to connect. This can be accomplished by opening the system tray program "mRouter" and selecting all the boxes. Pair the cell phone and computer using the D-Link software. If you are running a firewall, either turn it off or click yes when programs start asking for internet access. Then, connect the cell phone to the computer using "My Bluetooth Places" (D-Link Software). A box will come up stating that the cell phone is connected on COM Port 0. Click OK. Almost immediately, a box will come up saying "The Bluetooth Serial Port connection failed: The remote device closed the connection." Click OK and completely disregard the error message. Open up the Nokia software and it will work.

I give this product 4 stars only because of the error box that comes up whenever a connection is made. Otherwise, everything works fine. Believe me, I spent quite a while shopping for a Bluetooth adapter, this is the best choice. If you have a Nokia 3650, it is an absolute must-have.
