    The Carphone Warehouse do them for E40 (100m), Maplin generally have them on promo for about E30 (10m), and I'm sure Peats etc will have them for the same rough price.

    I think you can get one off Komplett for about E15...

    As for E7 on Ebay, if that includes postage then you might as well go for it :)

    hi, since XP Service Pack 2, if you are running that, most CSR based chip-set adapters will work with it, you should be able to check compatibility before you buy, the vendor should state if it works or not, and Microsoft have compiled a list of ones they have tested... otherwise buy one that comes with an up-to-date version of the Widcomm Bluetooth Implementation (1.4+)

    TDK are about the best adapters about (but you pay for them), Belkin are also fine (make sure you get the latest models though). Would avoid the unidentifiable models on eBay unless you can check it will work with XP SP2... i.e. those no-name adapters where you can't check to see what support the manufacturer offers / research it's compatibility
