No More Wires!
By Z-TechieVerified Reviewer from Garden Grove, CA on 9/7/2008
Pros:
Durable construction, Highly Compatible, Improves Performance, Reliable, Strong Connection Points, Works With Windows Vista
Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This thing is really cool. I hooked up my Samsung A707 via the software included using WINDOWS VISTA (YES, you heard right, Windows Vista will use the included software and will work just fine!), hooked up my phone, and away I went. Phone as modem, file transfers, virtual serial port, it all works!

Its seriously as easy as 1 2 3. 1: install the software, 2: plug in the usb and turn on th program, 3: sync your phone and away you go. I also can hook up my Bluetooth Headset, but I don't have a need for it...still, its cool!

Use this to transfer job images to various computers for clients. So far has worked on all XP systems without installing additional software, which is very convenient. Seems to be built sturdy and so far has been very reliable.

 
This is only an evaluation product
By vaqueroz from San Diego, CA on 4/19/2008
Cons:
Evaluation product can't, Unreliable
Best Uses:
data transfer

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The Voice Star Dongle I bought is an evaluation copy and a box comes up saying that my data transfer is limited to 5mbs and I have to register the product before it will work properly. Then the box goes away and they don't tell you how to register. The model # is VS 550 and is made for Radio Shack but I have been to 3 Radio Shacks and they don't know what I'm talking about. Have I been ripped off here? I don't want an evaluation product. I want one that transfers files such as an CD. When I do that an error message comes up so I have to use a USB cable to transfer music to my cell phone. That pretty much makes this product worthless to me.

Works extremly well. Works with Mac OS 10.4 Tiger and Fully supports all functions (OBEX, Headset, PAN, DUN, AVRCP, and A2DP). No drivers needed with MacOS.

Fast data transfer, reliable, good range. On my Mac I use it for Dial-up to an AT&T Samsung Sync for internet access, and to sync my Sprint Touch via Missing Sync.

Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Good Value, Reliable

I see no problems with this device. It allows you to add music, photos, videos, etc... on your phone or device ( which is why I bought it). I reccomend this product mostly to teenagers who want "free" music on their phones!

My Dell LT I have 4 usb ports. When you install dongle you have to return it to the same port each time. If you plug it into any other port on your pc it cant find it. Other than that works great! Making my own ring tones too!
