Summary: Works great - On a Mac
Review: This item works exactly as promised. On a Mac at least, but then almost everything does. I don't think it's appropriate for Windows users to fault this product for the shortcomings of their OS. With Mac OS X, I plugged the adapter in, and viola!, it worked. I was iSynching with my T68 within seconds. When that was done, I set up Salling Clicker and was using my phone to remotely control iTunes. Not a problem, not ever. There is nothing wrong with this product, and I own several. The only gripe I have is that it seems a bit pricey, but it works so effortlessly that I guess it's worth it.

Summary: Installs flawlessly with a Mac and PC.
Review: This product has been with me for years. I have the revision 3 and I believe they are up to revision 5 already. It has worked flawlessly with my old Sony Ericsson T610 phone. And it works even better with my current Nokia 6600 mobile.I installed the product in my Apple PowerBook G4 and iBook Dual USB and it instantly recognized the product without any drivers. I also believe this is the same product found inside every Bluetooth-equipped Mac because Apple did release a firmware update to their internal Bluetooth and it included these external D-Link DBT-120 units, if a user had one. (The only problem is that if you updated the firmware that Apple provided, you will not be able to use the D-Link on a PC. I haven't updated mine and never ran into sync problems). I sync my address book and calendar in Jaguar and Panther OS to my mobile phone and iPod without any hitches. Pros:
1. Small, compact, light
2. No drivers needed for Mac OS Jaguar and Panther and Windows XP OS. 3. Price. This product used to cost a lot. Now it has dropped down to USD40. Which is great, because this very same product that is installed internally in Macs still cost USD45 for the option. Shouldn't an OEM product installed during production be cheaper? Furthermore, if it's installed internally then you cannot transfer it between computers. The external is cheaper and transferrable. Cons:
1. The only difficulty I can think of is the implementation of the Bluetooth standard across products. I love gadgets and find myself tinkering with anything technological so I usually don't have problems making one product operate with another. The problem with Bluetooth is that there is no standard way to activate and access operation between products. Each product has its own graphic user interface to contend with. Bluetooth is being billed to consumers as an easy plug and play product. I'm sure it is - just not right now as manufacturers are still fiddling with how to integrate it with their products. Hence, other consumers will have to read the manual on how to access and use Bluetooth across products. In products that come with no manual, they will have to be used to fiddling the interface. Until then, I can't wait for the time where Bluetooth actually performs the way it is billed. If it doesn't work the first time, try to understand the logic behind each product's interface. The problem is that if they can't get it to work, they blame D-Link. If you're computer recognizes the product upon install, then there is no problem. If it doesn't and the activity lights don't work, then send it back. Unlike Wireless/Wired Ethernet products, the user interface is not embedded in the Bluetooth unit. This Bluetooth product is only a vessel. The actual operation is dependent on the computer and interface it has been programmed to interact with Bluetooth.

Summary: Has not failed me once
Review: This product has not failed me once since the day I bought it. D-link makes quality goods for cheap prices. It is not hard to use, if you have Windows XP it requires no setup, though you might want to install their software anyways, because of its features. I highly recommend this.

Summary: Getting DBT-120 to work with XP SP2
Review: To confirm, this does work with XP SP2. I have it plugged into a IBM T41 and can do an Activesync over BT with my MPX220.
Keys are:
- install the drivers that come with it
- the SP2 bluetooth drivers overide some of the Dlink functions but that is ok
- The follow the instructions below:
from: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=116080
"1. delete the partnership made on computer and under bluetooth in settings menu on phone
2. set up bluetooth PC software to have a specific com port open for incoming.
3. open pc activesync and set same com port to allow connection.
4. THEN turn phone bluetooth on discoverable, and have PC search for device to establish partnership with and follow through the instructions
Mine only worked with activesync if I made a partnership AFTER I specified which COM port to use with PC bluetooth AND PC activesync."

Summary: easy cheezy installation
Review: works great with my Motorola v600 cell phone. i'm able to swap files to / from the phone without any problems. the Motorola Phone Tools software works nicely with it too. installation experience was good overall. Win00 Pro; insert the cd, follow the wizard, insert the BT adaptor when prompted, reboot, success! WinXP Pro; had a minor hiccup. following the previous instructions doesn't work. you get some weird invalid software license message. instead, you have to insert the BT adaptor, allow Windows to identify the new device, insert the cd and allow Windows to search it for the required drivers, reboot, and then install the software from the cd. that's it!

Summary: Works great on macs
Review: Works perfectly on my 2 1/2 year old iBook with OS X 10.3. Just plug it in and have iSync search for your telephone. Once it's found it, you're in business from now on. All you have to do to is hit the sync button on Isync and that's it. No probs. My friend that also has a Nokia 3650 and a PC can't get the bluetooth to work for the life of him. Sounds like many other people have this hassle. Well, at least your computer was cheap, huh? Guess you didn't think about what your time is worth. My time is worth more than dinking around with a PC and dealing with crashes. I have work to do.

Summary: good product, but...
Review: Works very well with Macs out of the box, but requires some tweaking to make it work with PCs.
