Thread: New Phone Software

But all this info only helps if you already own a dongle and want to see if it's ISSC or CSR. If you don't already own one, or you own a Broadcom one which we know probably won't work, we need to know what we can buy. This is why the compatibility list will be very important.

Yes, but upgrade feature is not available right now. It should be after version 1.50 is released.

I tripped over a page that may help folks...

After my Kensington 33348 turns up to be CRAP (the drivers are just sucky WIDCOMM bloatware) I just bought one of these... less than $8 shipped:

This thread caused me to wonder if this is CSR based, and in wandering the world, I tripped into this site:

Found my adapter (look for something that looks like yours, much of what you buy retail is just OEM re-branded) and the answer popped positive:

One additional thing that I think is useful to point out... As you shop for a Bluetooth dongle, be sure it's native USB 2.0. There's no reason to run a USB 1.1 dongle these days.

Nice finds, Mark. Thanks!

By the way, I guess different Kensington dongles use different stacks. Their latest one (the micro-usb one) uses the Toshiba stack. I don't see it on midiwall's website that he found though, so I still have to dig around to find out if it's CSR/ISSC or not.

Wow, the BT dongle I have now may work! I've had it for a year or so and used it to HotSync my Treo to the computer. Now it was slow as crap compared to the cable, but I may give this a shot before buying one! here's where I got mine

Hang in there folks.. I have more info coming on getting older dongles to work. I started a new thread and I'll point to it when I'm done.

Okay... dunno who this will help, but it helped me so I figured I'd share:
