Customer Review: Not for Mac OSX Tiger People
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this device hoping to add bluetooth capabilities to my Mac Mini (I wish I would have opted for the bluetooth card option through Apple). The product description claims to support Mac OSX but when I tried to load the drivers, I realized they were only for PC. I then went to the website (which is awful) and downloaded the "update." Still no Mac drivers of any kind. And though the website also makes the claim of supporting OSX, there is no explanation for Mac users anywhere.
I gave up after about an hour of messing with it and sent it back to Amazon.
It may work well in Windows land but try something else for a Mac.
Customer Review: Worked for 3 days

Unfortunately I am not a guru on the computer. I bought the product to work with my cell phone (sony ericsson T616) so I could transfer my pictures to the computer and hopefully get ringtones from the computer to my phone. I was able to use it fine for 3 days. After that it had technical difficulties. such as not being able to find my device (phone) or it found it but couldn't transfer. I don't have the time or patience needed for some of the computer stuff. I tried troubleshooting, it began to get more complicated. Anyone who is familiar with computers may not have a problem installing, uninstalling, troubleshooting, etc to get it to work again.Customer Review: Decent for the price

I have this device plugged into my laptop and when it is working I love it. My laptop is plugged into my TV and I can sit on my couch and use my wireless keyboard and mouse from a very good range. I have also linked it up to my cell phone and have a set of Bluetooth headphones on order. When I first set this up the install was easy, however, getting it recognize my keyboard and mouse was a bit of a pain. It was supposed to automatically find my devices, but I had to manually add my keyboard before it would recognize it. Also on very rare occasions it loses synchronization with my keyboard, but never while I am actually using it.Customer Review: Worked fine until...

I got mine less than a month ago. I bought it because I read other reviews and I thought it would be the perfect complement for my SET610. First two weeks, great wonderful. Then something happened. From time to time my computer said "bluetooth device not found". I guess it overheated or something, because I unplugged it for about 15 minutes and plugged it back again, and it worked fine again. It was annoying. Now this weekend it suddenly stopped working at all. It was a major disappointment. I'm sending it back. I guess it's not a bad product. I was just unlucky, but I'll choose another one.
Trend brand lost a customer.
Customer Review: Works well, when it works...
Summary: 3 Stars
Got this thing to sync my Sony Ericson P800 phone. It works for the most part but, in a round about sort of way. Typically, it tells you the connection failed but, then immediately afterwards in another pop up, says it established a connection. Other times I have had to reboot my computer before a connection could be established. I have also had to reinstall the driver on several occasions even though I had not made any changes to my system. It just seems to poop out after a couple of months.
Otherwise, when it does make a connection which is about 90% of the time, it works very well.
