Cool USB Bluetooth adapters

Going to be needing one of these for my laptop at some point in the next week or so. What's the cheapest place to get one?

I gather some companies give 'em away as little promotional free gifts sometimes (like they do with pen-drives, etc). I don't suppose anyone's got one kicking around unused that they'd fancy 'long-term lending' me would they?

Get the MSI one from Watford electronics.

I'll dig out the URL.

Actually, what would be really handy would be a wireless PCMCIA network card which also provides Bluetooth. Are there any available which don't cost a fortune?

Don't know about wireless PCMCIA, but I've got the MSI one - cost me about £15 for a USB one.

Use it to interact with my SE T610.... works a treat. The only difference is that it hasn't got a very long range (hence the price).....

Got mine from EBuyer....

With two of those MSI USB dongles, could you set up a mini network between two machines? I'm too tight to invest in proper wireless for my house
