Mikomi 20m Bluetooth USB Adaptor.

Should I take my chances and just get this, and see whether it has all the features a much more pricey one would have.

As has been said before, they're all much the same. The dongle just facilitates a connection to another device such as a phone. Everything else is in the software.
I use a £6 cheapie from Tesco to connect to my phone. Coupled with the Motorola software it enables me to upload ringtones and download piccys.

So your saying that the cheap ones there can do just as the expensive ones can do?

Web access for a mobile device on a £6.99 USB bluetooth.

I have one & I use it to access my nokia phone, backup stuff from it such as contacts, pictures, videos etc. I have also used it with my phone to access the internet when mine has been down & it ran very well. If your going to be using it for this sort of thing then I would highly recommend getting one, hell just buy one, not like they cost an arm & a leg.

My daughter bought one today (£5) so she could transfer her phone pictures and video to her laptop.

I have one kicking around somewhere
Probably only bluetooth 1.0 since its getting on for 4 - 5 years old.

As for features depends on what OS its being used with and what the drivers are

I have the newer bluetooth 2.0 with EDR built-in to my laptop so I've never bothered to replace the dongle, seldom use it as I just pop the memory card from my phone in the pc's card-reader (much quicker ;) )

I use a cheapo one. I use it with Microsoft sms sender to send messages through my Nokia using an interface on the PC while I am at work. This way I am not seen typing on my phone when at work, instead I am typing on my PC,
