Re: Blue Tooth USB Adapter

Hi Jon
Well I got so dam dicusted with it and vista I uninstalled it.
I have it on XP and it works right except I don't get to copy my address
book from my phone.
I can do photos and videos if I want but don't do that stuff.
Kinda looks like maybe the phone don't have that capability.
Thanks Jonathan
