I wish Radio-Shack ""Made/Designed"" their own brand of cellphones. They
would know how to scrap BT and we could replace it with something good and
simple to get the price down!

Just venting..

I use a D-Link BlueTooth Dongle on my Dell PC. It was $39.99 at CompUSA.

I have no relationship to DLink other than their BT Dongle works good on
my Dell, and also comes with Macintosh drivers for older Macs.

Bluetooth is built into my Macintosh G5.

Thanks for that info.
I just don't see how D-link sells a US$39 BT-dongle!
I want to put BT in a design, but the cheapest chipset I can find is EU$70
from
http://www.btdesigner.com/modules.htm

My God, why don't I just break apart Dlink dongles and sell pieces as
BT-Modules!

Anyone know of cheap BT chip suppliers!
Thanks for any replys....

Well the dongle I use cost ?14 ukp from a local computer fair, came with the
Widcomm software, and works perfectly with WinXP SP2, the Plantronics BT
Headset I have also cost ?39 from a internet supplier - www.ebuyer.com just
does say that BT prices are good now.
