Basically, though there is a large variation in terms of quality of build
and range.
If you just want a simple connection between your phone and your PC to
transfer piccys and ringtone or to sync your contacts and diary etc then I
can't see any problems with using a 10 quid Tesco job.
I use a cheapo un-unbranded dongle that I bought on eBay for about 8 quid,
and that does me just fine...
