Looks like a terrific deal...just want to make sure it would be compatible with my Cube and new Bluetooth phone that I ordered (Sony Ericsson T616).

Thanks in advance!

Dunno. I have a D-Link DWB-120M dongle. Works great.

By right, most Bluetooth adapters should be auto-detected in OS X.

If it doesn't, and you can't get a refund, too bad. It's a risk you have to take if you buying one of those generic adapters.

The best one would be the DLink one because it's very small and compact. The smallest I've seen I think.

Just IMHO.

Although yours looks like a good deal, the adapter being not compatible could be troublesome, and since the D-Link DBT-120 is sold for somewhere around 36$ (www.shopping.com), this 10$ could be well invested, plus, it is really much smaller than the one you were eyeing, probably half the size, which could come in handy once you use it with a laptop.

It will work - but not for Audio - for that you need the DLink one.

I just got it in the mail. OSX sees it, and now I have to test an actual connection.
