Default Re: Are all bluetooth dongles the same

Those features are dependant on the device you are connecting to, and has
nothing to do with the dongle.

As Chris mentioned, the major difference is build quality. The other difference
is the Class.

The Class relates to the power, and hence effective range.
Class 1 is 100m and Class 3 is 10m (this is reduced by walls etc), a Class 2
is somewhere inbetween but seem to be extremely rare.

I have a Class 1, as I use my PC as a BT access point for my PDA when I am
downstairs, if you are just transfering to a phone in the same room a Class 3
will do just fine.
