Bluetooth may be a regular occurrence on almost all Nokia smartphones by default but can the same be said for your laptop? Well, you needn’t worry too much as you can always add a Bluetooth Dongle but can you add one as small as this Atomic Pico Bluetooth Dongle we’ve been testing for the last few days? Check out our Atomic Pico Bluetooth Dongle review and find out how good it really is….

The Atomic Pico Bluetooth Dongle is tiny. As you can see from the images below, it’s a small USB connector that protrudes from the side of your laptop, or netbook, by just a couple of millimetres. This means you can literally just plug it in and forget about it.

What’s more, we found that in our rather aging Toshiba laptop running Windows XP, the Atomic Pico Bluetooth Dongle was immediately sourced and set up and running in less than a couple of minutes. If you need to install drivers then you’ll find a CD-ROM supplied that covers both Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Once the drivers are installed you can start to use the dongle right away – no need to reboot – so you can instantly start to share files with your Nokia smartphone.

The guys over at Mobile Fun sent along the Atomic Pico Bluetooth Dongle for testing and at just £8.95 (inc. VAT), it’s certainly a cheaper way of adding Bluetooth than buying a new laptop.
