I recently bought a cheap USB Bluetooth dongle because my older Acer TravelMate 4070 came without Bluetooth support. Big mistake. The dongle (a Laser N1968) ships with BlueSoleil – a suite of Bluetooth drivers for windows. My Nokia 6110 Navigator and PC Suite simply hate BlueSoleil – after umpteen pairings and unpairings of the devices, driver installations and re-installations and checking all congifurations, I simply cannot get BlueSoleil to work properly with PC Suite. What a piece of rubbish! C’mon people, Bluetooth is all about interoperability!

  • PC Suite version : 7.0.8.2
  • BlueSoleil version: 2.1.2.1

Will try the Widcomm drivers as an alternative to BlueSoleil and see how they go…
