I'm looking to buy a Bluetooth USB dongle for my computer, and Tablet PC on the road. I'm very new to the Bluetooth world, so what brand/model should I get? I'd obviously like it as cheap as possible, but still work well. Any names to avoid? Any advice in setting up syncing, file transfer, and DUN in Windows XP SP2?

Not sure if this is the right forum for this...I don't want to buy a used dongle, so I didn't post in Buy & Sell. :|

The DBT-120 is the smallest one I have seen and it worked great once I followed the installation instructions. Still a little too big to leave on the laptop when I put it in my bag but works reliably.
Check the "services" of anyone you are looking at. The DBT-120 has services to work with my keyboard, mouse, PocketPC, and GPS.

I'll need to use mine with a Pocket PC and cell phone initially. I may add keyboard and mouse later, and maybe GPS.

Belkin would be a good choice. I have the Zonet 6110c http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=33-130-018&depa=0, and it works great; the 6100 is the same price and offers three times the distance.

IMO, stay away from anything Socket.

I'm impressed with the Belkin, and the price is only $33.82 at buy.com (http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10329172&loc=0).
