Very good product:
The product work great the only problem was a little issue while install on Win XP SP2

hard to install w98se for axim x30/bluetooth gps:
my god how long has w98se been out and it asks for the w98se installation disk--not once but twice!!!!! what the hell for!! include the cabs in the installation files. then it says connect the device--which one?? the bluetooth adapter or the device you want it to talk too---I havent finished installing the usb adapter!! 3 reboots 2 win98se disk insertions and then i have to configure 2 bluetooth devices!! i muddle through passcodes and pairing---where the hell is the instructions??? finally i run around the house with a tape measure--100meters is bs--besides i'm american its called feet. i got about 75 feet with weak signal and one of the devices caused a fatal error!! so stay within 50ft/good signal and no crashes. for 40$$ its too expensive not to get better instructions and setup.exe files.

Software that comes with it doesn't work.:
This one is really awful, but only because the software installer can't seem to install it properly. Not even the most recent December 2006 version of the installer works properly. If you already bought this and you only need it for bluetooth headset functionality or gps, download BlueSoleil software and make it work with that. Belkin's own software is pitifully useless.(Google "BlueSoleil Bluetooth".) The speed is limited to 5mb if you don't buy the software, but who cares for gps or phone?

Not good for XP SP2:
Worked okay on my Dell D800 laptop running Windows 2000 but when I installed it on my Dell workstation at work running Windows XP Pro, it interfered with all my network connections... email, server access, internet, etc!! I uninstalled it and tried to re-install it several times check marking differing install options and the got the same result. All I wanted to do was transfer small files from desktop to and from my Samsung cell phone. If you are running Windows XP, I would suggest another solution other than this product.

Bluetooth Hotsync Fiasco:
I have the belkin f8t001 v2 adapter & the 1.4.2 build 10 drivers, I couldn't get to the "Bluetooth Configuration" screen, because the desktop icon "My Bluetooth Places" didn't work. And I also got the ominous "port is in use by..." message. XP with SP2 was not allowing the belkin bluetooth usb dongle to load drivers, very frustrating. Google this (it's on the belkin UK site) XPServicePack2andF8T001v2orF8T003v2.pdf restarted, set it up and it works great now, hope this helps.
