Do they work? Do they work for any cell phone? Any computer? Anyone have any experience with them?

Maybe a PC user will say something.

When you got your USB connector for the Bluetooth...did it come with software and was the software compatible with your cell phone. I guess what I'm trying to say is did you have to purchase a specific brand/model USB connector for your specific cell phone? I bought a regular USB connector kit for my cell phone and it wasn't compatible with my phone model...sure the connection fit but the software didn't have any drivers for my phone. I took it back and was curious about using my Bluetooth instead. Where did you get your Bluetooth USB/PC connect?

tone....my cell phone has built in usb....i had to buy a bluetooth device for my mac that plugs into a usb port on the computer. I use the built in sync program that comes with osx to sync to the phone. I did not have to install any bluetooth software but you have to "pair" the phone and the computer so they find each other.

Bluetooth is a standard so i would guess that any bluetooth device should work....

I guess the easiest thing for me to do is get with my cell carrier to find the right device. It's usually more expensive that way though....thanks man!

ok your phone has built in bluetooth and should work fine with the motorola headset. Do you have those two working together?

If so....are you asking if you can also sync your phone with your pc? Does your pc have built-in bluetooth....if not you can pick up a bluetooth device for usb anywhere (compusa)
