Everybody discusses their problems, but there is very little info about a Blurtooth Dongle that works without problems in Windows 7 (32-bit in my case.)

I live in South Africa and it looks like it could be years before there are any on the shelves here, so I have to import myself, and trying to find one is a mission.

I have a CSR Bluetooth Dongle that works fine for me, although i didnt buy it, and the dongle itself lacks identification. Windows 7 Ultimate x64 btw.

Pebbly, do I look for a dongle that has BlueSoliel on the packet?
skunksmash and Uder Philf, so what make and part number are they?
Amazon doesn't have a CSR dongle, so I will have to look elsewhere. Any ideas where I can order on-line?

is that a rhetorical question?

Hmmmm, I've read the thread title a number of times and I must say, I'm nearly certain it's a violation of the Blue Laws, or at least the
North American Broadcasters Association


standards and practices!! My oh my!!
