Kensington 33085 Bluetooth USB Adapter

I think I have a Blue tooth...

After playing with all other cool features of my new LG VX8100 mobile phone, I decided to test the Bluetooth capability.

I already had my HP Pavilion ZT3280US which has Bluetooth built-in and I also bought my coolest new headset, the Motorola HS850. But I was not satisfied just yet; I wanted to be able to connect my phone to my desktop computer and backup the data on my phone for emergencies (which happened once already; I had accidentally reset my phone while playing with it). So I went to BestBuy and purchased this tiny Kensington USB Bluetooth adapter.


DESIGN :
First of all let me point out that the picture you see for this product is the incorrect picture but the specifications are correct. So let me describe the design of this unit. It is about 2 inches in length, about 3/4 of an inch in width, and just a little less than 1/2 an inch in depth; so it is very small. It will not disturb any thing else plugged in to your other USB ports. If you have some USB ports in the front of your computer (like me), it would even be easier to use. It weighs between 5 and 6 ounces.

There is a very small FastLink button that allows you to connect you keyboard and mouse devices quickly. But I do not have a Bluetooth compatible keyboard or mouse so I will just not use it. It comes with a protective cap to cover the USB connector so no harm will come to it. This cap comes off easily but it does not fit on the back of the adapter like the pens we use or like the SanDisk Cruzer Mini 256MB flash drive.
