    Hey

    I was just wondering, I just found one of my old N-gage bluetooth dongles while cleaning up. It's extremely small, and I think I still have the drivers for it.

    Question is: Is it possible to use this dongle for other activities involving bluetooth? And how would I go about doing this?

    I now use a N70, so it would be cool if they could be connected through my n-gage dongle.

    Also, I wanted to try out some stuff with my Wii-mote on my computer. It uses bluetooth.

    I am a newbie to understanding how bluetooth devices work on the computer. :-/

    Thanks in advanced!

    So it's just a bluetooth dongle that plugs in via USB? Depending on what drivers are available for it, that could in theory communicate to any bluetooth device, try it and see.

    Yep is a little USB dongle. Very small actually.

    Thing is, when I installed the drivers for it back when I was using my n-gage. I couldn't even get it to work.

    Well, nothing gained, nothing lost if it doesn't work.
