I got a software cd with the bluetooth dongle.
No USB wire. Why would u need it? u just have to connect the bluetooth dongle to ur computer's USB port.
I do not know the company's name which has manufactured the dongle but its bundled with IVT Bluesoleil's software which will work with nokia phones without problems as it is one of the recommended drivers by nokia. But, IMO you might have to download the latest drivers from http://www.ivtcorporation.com/download/BlueSoleil_Download.php to work with PC suite.

Available in Orissa for Rs.450/- including Cd and USB cable.

@pandahk What do you mean by 'including USB cable'?
You don't need any USB cable for connecting via bluetooth. You just have to pop the Bluetooth dongle in the USB port of your computer.

That may be a Data Cable.

I bought one last week for 400. CD + Dongle.

Approx 450 for TECH COM

by usb cable he's referring to extension cable.

[desertwind]

Why the hell one needs and usb extension cable for BT ?

[infra_red_dude]

some dongles provide it wid package.

[Tech&ME]

I bought one for 800. Dongle by ENTER.

Package included one IVT Blue Soleil Driver CD and no cables

I don't understand what the hell the Wire/Cable will do with Bluetooth Dongle.

A Bluetooth Dongle allows you to have your devices 10 MTs apart. So you can control your PC from the Sofa itself.

no buddy, many time it happens that the usb port location is a bit awkward or other devices may hamper the dongle to fit in. in such cases a usb extension cable is very helpful.

You've a point there.

[mehulved]

Yeah infra_red_dude what you say makes sense but I'm yet to see this kind of problem anyhwere considering the bluetooth dongle isn't much bigger than the head of USB cable.

[infra_red_dude]

naah... its happend wid me. the usb port on my lappy is just too close to the combo drive. if i plug in any device the tray just can't be opened. tho i haf 2 more ports, they are usually connectoed to some devices. i used to use an extension cable wid the dongle. also many a time when i keep the lappy wid the usb dongle plugged in onto this port (which hapns to be located on the right side) on my bed, due to uneven surface the dongle is liable to get damaged. an extension is very helpful in such cases.

bluetooth has too slow speed around 15-20 kbps go for a cardreader
