Summary: Does not work with Windows XP
Review: Piece of junk. Do not purchase for use with Windows machines. Drivers have not been updated for nearly 18 months now and customer support is aweful. Was informed to download and reinstall the drivers from the DLink website with no results. Will never purchase another DLink product.

Summary: Works fine with Linux
Review: Put it on the back of my laptop and it worked fine with Linux. The system beeped, found it and it worked fine. So, OSX and Linux work fine... I guess it's not a problem with the unit.

Summary: Bundled BT manager software is buggy
Review: Software that comes on CD supports multiple bluetooth profiles (allows connecting devices to connect to Internet, browse/share files, etc) but crashes frequently on my Windows XP machine. Downloading and installing updated software from D-Link made all profiles except fairly useless "serial port" disappear.
Being software developer myself, I would rate D-link software as "late alpha" - "early beta" quality.
Stay away from it unless you want to spend many hours trying to make it work...

Summary: Unreliable, and with disgraceful technical support
Review: Sometimes you just know that a product is going to be a disaster, and sometimes you know it will be a delight. Alas, I quickly started getting 'disaster' vibes - even during the installation process with the D-Link DBT-120.The installation (onto my XP Professional OS Dell laptop) was different on screen than suggested by the user guide on the CD and Quick Install Guide. A bad start. It required two reboots during the course of the install - surely unnecessary with Win XP. And, most objectionable of all, I had to key in a 32 character security code to 'register' the software - how stupid is that? Anyway, eventually I got it installed and working, but it was very difficult to understand or use. For example, what do you think that an 'Object Push Link' is? Whatever it is, I have two of them now! The software would occasionally generate error messages that sometimes didn't seem to mean anything, and other times probably did! Anyway, after a month of not using it, I needed to use it again with my Nokia 3650. But when I went to use it, I could no longer get the devices to communicate, and after speaking with T-Mobile's helpful customer support, we identified the problem - a missing D-Link driver. So, I called D-Link's misnamed customer 'support'. After 3.5 hours on the phone (sure, with several disconnects during that time) and speaking with four different people, none of whom could solve my problem, a supervisor interrupted to say that it wasn't their responsibility to fix the missing D-Link driver so that it would talk to the outside world!!! The 'level two' support person who'd been struggling to help me said he had to therefore end the call and couldn't help any more. He suggested I place a message asking for help in a news group! The software interface is impossible to understand and when it doesn't work, you're on your own. Unacceptable in all respects.

Summary: Easy Setup. Flawless with my Win2K , WinXP & my T616
Review: Suprisingly easy setup with this "tiny usb plug" DBT-120. Within 5 minutes (one reboot) and I have my SonyEricsson T616 connect to My Win2K computer and work. (And about same time spent on connecting to my WinXP at home.). With a easy to use interface, transferring files (pictures & midi) from my PC to my T616 is a snap. I would like my T616 support FAX function and that would be perfect but unfortunately T616 doesn't ........ Perhaps my Next or Next Next phone will capable of doing that ........ The package of DBT-120 is tiny and easy to carry. One drawback is D-Link does not provide any carrying case. You "MAY" accidentally lose it after you unplug it from your computer.

Summary: The very worst product I purchased in 2004
Review: Thankfully - I was able to return it to the store after 5 days. So what was wrong with it -
Firstly - for hardware revision B4, the software just would not install (some error about security code not being valid). Wasted many hours over this. A call to D-link tech support resulted in an email from them that only repeated steps I had already tried. Not very helpful and more waste of time.
I wrote back in a stern manner - and tech support finally got back with a solution that involved installing the older driver along with a security code that they generated.
OK - I was willing to live with this much. When I tried to use the device with the Jabra 250 BT headphone, I managed to get a range of around 18 feet and there was absolutely no signal one room away. Even within a room - signal was weak by the time I went to the end of the room. What was this claim about 30 feet range? This was awful performance and I decided I had enough and returned the product.
Fast forward to my Linksys USBBT100 - . Firstly - it installed in a snap. The Jabra 250 now works through the furthest corner of the other rooms - no breakup - nothing. Boy - what a glaring difference.
I for one will stay away from D-link for a long time to come!

Summary: FLAWLESS ON MAC OS X (10.2.8)
Review: The D-Link USB/Bluetooth adapter was plug and play all the way. It's tiny (a third smaller than most usb flash drives or usb software dongles), built very well and has individual power and link status lights. It instantly communicated with my Sony Ericsson T610 cell phone via iSync. Contacts, calendars, task lists and files all transferred effortlessly. Not a complaint to be had. Possible improvement: a hole or tab for a key chain or fob. Otherwise, worth every penny.

Summary: Excellent device
Review: This is a great adapter which is high quality, and relatively low price. I use it with a laptop running windows XP and a Hewlett-Packard iPAQ 2215. This adapter is very easy to setup and all of the necessary instructions and software come with the adapter. Setup is a farily automated process and the installation wizard and instruction booklet will guide you through the process. The adapter lets you use a variety of different services such as internet connection sharing, ActiveSynch, file transfer, and others. All of these services can be enabled/disabled at any point after installation and configuring them is for the most part a simple procedure which can be done by following the instruction on the computer. The adapter has a very good range of twenty to thirty yards, which is about the maximum a PDA can handle, so connecting to the adapter won't be an issue. Several of my friends and I have PDAs, so I got this adapter so we could all use my laptop as a wireless hub to get online. None of use have had any problems and it can handle several devices using it at once. As an added bonus the adapter comes with a free USB extension cable.

Summary: Worked perfectly first time, and always has
Review: This is the perfect gadget as far as I'm concerned. It's cheap, it's small, it's light, you plug it in and you have Bluetooth, no configuration necessary. At least, it works perfectly with my 800MHz G3 iBook running OS X. It seems that XP users may have a little more difficulty. I wouldn't want to say anything about that as I might look smug. Anyway, if you have other BT devices it's wonderful. I've used it to send and receive files to and from a Tungsten T, a T616 and a Nokia 3650. (If you don't have any other BT devices, why would you want this device?) I've also used the T616 and 3650 as portable wireless modems, and, while expensive, this is *the* best use for the D-Link with a laptop. You can get net access anywhere you can get a cellphone signal. I really can't think of anything bad about the D-Link.

Summary: very poor quality driver and tech support
Review: this is unfortunately the worst piece of hardware ever bought as it does not work! it says it is for win xp but using the driver disk provided gets the "not valid license" message so you cannot use it! The support website is no help as the new software stills gets the CODE NEEDED window where there is no code provided! [...]Very Very disappointing product!
