I just bought a SE T610 phone and am trying to get a bluetooth-USB adaptor. The Apple store says 4-6 weeks, CompUSA says they don't have them in-store. Radio Shack doesn't carry them. Any other ideas? Someplace in San Francisco would be great.

and..

The first one has a 10meter range and the other has a 100meter range (in theory)

Punch in your zip code and see if it actually is there. If it isn't, they should be getting them back in stock, as it is a product they carry.

Works okay with OS X? I see them at a store nearby, so I'll be picking one up tonight.

Thanks,

I think you'll find any BT adapter will work.

I have an AmbiCom Bluetooth adapter, which I found at Best Buy. It works, but sometimes I've found that my system gets more unstable when it's plugged in, so I usually leave it unplugged.

I ordered a D-Link from Amazon. It arrived in like two days, even with the free super saver shipping.

The D-Link certainly isn't the cheapest model out there though
