hey.Also please make sure that USB bluetooth dongles are supported by your laptop.I have a HP Pavilion Centrino,which has in built Wireless B,but no bluetooth.I had first bought a USB bluetooth dongle,but it just didnt work.I took the laptop to the computer guy,and he told me that some newer laptops dont support usb bluetooth devices.So,I bought a PCMCIA card bluetooth device with antenna in built.It is working fine..and rightly steeroid said - somwhat like a permanent solution,since it`s alright if you dont take out the card each time you switch off your laptop..
Only con of PCMCIA adapter is that they are more expensive than the usb dongles.
cheers,
