Review: CIRAGO Bluetooth BTA-3210 EDR

Quote
Cirago sent me their micro USB Bluetooth dongle to take a quick peek at. When I first got the information on this I just thought this will probably be the smallest USB device I will ever use. Knowing that Bluetooth devices are becoming more and more popular and useful, I thought I'd give this adapter a try. We'll see how it manages in a house crowded with wireless signals.

Yeah, that cost the product some points in our scoring.

Sorry for the necropost but thought of letting you guys know that I did finally get this adapter! It's the exact same version/model # but slightly different product! i.e., the housing isn't coming off! It came in the same exact retail packaging, too. Anyway, just thought you might want to know. Wink

Here's a fuzzy photo taken off my smartphone:

The bluetooth adapter is the one on the left; that one on the right is my "nano receiver" for my logitech laser mouse.


Another view with the blue blinky light on:


Driver installation was a breeze and it found my smartphone with no probs. Then again, my smartphone doesn't do much (I rather preferred my old Ericsson mobile phone -- when I connected that via bluetooth to my friend's laptop, I was able to control his mouse cursor via phone buttons! Big Grin) I'll be using this with my bluetooth headset, though so no worries about not being able to control my machine with my mobile. Smile

ha, i had forgotten about this review, or even that i commented on it previously. yup, i have one too and love it. it works flawlessly with my eeePC + cellphone (k850i) for tethering to the 3g. i can't say that mine has ever had its housing fall off though.

Unless you have a limo I don't think that could be an issue.  Bluetooth range in general is rated at 30m.  Even if this is 1/10th of that you still are at 3m, more than enough for a car.
