Hi jonathan
Well Device manager says I have Broadcom Bluetooth 2.0 EDR USB Dongle,
And under it it says Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator.
I don't know what I got, there is no program listed under all programs, the
pages that come up look to me like a windows program.
I can transfer pictures back and forth but have no option to transfer text
or address book.
I am still lost here.
