Digital camera reviews of Kensington K33902US Bluetooth USB Micro Adapter
Digital camera Review: Compatibility problems with Windows 7
Summary: 2 Stars
When I tried to use this product with Windows 7, I received an error message stating there are known incompatibilities with this Kensington Bluetooth USB adapter Kensington K33902US Bluetooth USB Micro Adapter and Windows 7. Windows 7 finally supplied a basic driver for it, but it's functionality is limited. I wasted my money purchasing this product.Digital camera Review: Does NOT work in Windows 7.
Summary: 1 Stars
This device does not work in windows 7. I was trying to pair my brand new HP 2160US laptop (why it does not have bluetooth on board I don't know) with my iPhone. This is not a terribly crazy configuration -- to pair an iPhone with a new HP laptop. Here is the deal:
1. Don't use the CD that comes with it. It is meant for XP and Vista OS. If you load it up in Windows 7 you get a "known compatibility issues statement". I uninstalled.
2. I then rebooted and simply plugged in the device. The standard MS drivers found the iPhone but there was an issue that places a big exclaimation point on the device saying that it "needs attention". Selecting that notification shows it as having issues with "no device driver loaded".
3. Kensington tech support was not there until 7:30 pacific time. When they finally answered, it was India. Why in the world would they wait until 7:30 pacific if their call center is in India is beyond me. Wouldn't you want them to be available at 8:00 eastern through 5:00pm pacific. Unbelievable.
4. When they took my call, they were useless. They actually told me that the problem must be the iPhone (3GS), not the Toshiba stack that is documented all over the web as having issues. Classic finger pointing by support.
5. After 35 minutes, I boxed it up and sent it back to Amazon.
DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU ARE RUNNING Win7. ALL THE GOOD REVIEWS ARE FOR FOLKS RUNNING XP & VISTA!!!!!
Digital camera Review: Does What It Says
Summary: 5 Stars
I am running Windows 7, however, unlike a couple other posts, I had to use the installation disk that came with the adapter in order to get my computer to recognise my palm. I got no issues doing this. For those using this to sync a palm, the com port needed to set up the virtual port in sync manager is com 7. Once I set up the virtual port in palm sync, it worked like a charm.Digital camera Review: Don't buy this bluetooth adapter here
Summary: 1 Stars
Plain and simple this product is not compatible with Windows Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) or Win7. Works just fine with WinXP, but my intention was not to use it on a WinXP machine. If you need a bluetooth adapter go to Best Buy so you can try it and return it easily if it doesn't work for you.Digital camera Review: Eee PC Friendly
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this adapter for use with my Eee PC 900A and my Sony Ericsson C905a (as a modem where there is no free wifi).
That being said this little device works great! I did not install the drivers that were included on the disc, and everything worked on both ubuntu and windows xp. The Sony Ericsson PC Suite is able to connect to my phone while still in my pocket, or backpack (approx 3 feet away). I have not tested the range of connectivity.
For me this device serves it's purpose.
