Works well, but sticks out more than I expected.
The card sticks out so far that holsters/holders are not functional on my treo 650. May work great on other devices... Otherwise functioned as advertised.

Alas, not for Treo600
Unfortunately, this device will not work with the palmOne Treo 600, despite the Product Specification sheet for the Treo 600's specific claim that its SDIO port could be used to support a bluetooth card... This is apparently because of an incompatibility between the Palm OS5 operating system used on the Treo600 and the palmOne bluetooth card.Beyond that, the form factor is "problematic" at best, as the "antenna" on the bluetooth card sticks out quite a bit from the edge of the phone.

works OK with latest drivers, but it sticks out way too far
I didn't realize how far this would protrude from my m515. I think I'd prefer a tungsten at this point. The manufacturer (Toshiba) is supposed to start selling one that is substantially shorter, so it protrudes only half as much. The software that came with it is quite bugtastic. I found myself resetting my poor palm many times a day when using bluetooth networking. This improved greatly when I downloaded palm's updated drivers and software. Now it's only as buggy as the applications I run (unfortunately that's still awfully buggy!).

Lovely Product.
When I first was introduced to bluetooth I found myself looking for bluetooth devices. The first one that came to mind was the Palm handheld. I decided to fork out the [money] and buy one of these cards for my Palm m505, and I don't regret it. The card is extremely small, and fits in my Palm carrying case. The card works well with MacOS X and my D-Link Bluetooth USB Adaptor. I can sync my m505 wireless using this bluetooth card, and better yet, I can be 30 feet away from my computer, I can sit on the couch and sync my m505. The card should also work with bluetooth compliant phones, this is another nice touch.

A neat accessory
A simple and easy to use Palm accesory. Useful for people having other Bluetooth devices like GSM cell phone and laptop computers. I use it to sync, dial, SMS between my Palm M130 and Nokia 8910. Very small size (slightly bigger than a traditional expandable memory card), carries easily with the palm. Comes bundled with a CD that is easy to install. Five Stars.
