I received this [Bluetooth Pico Dongle](http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/atomic-pico-bluetooth-dongle-p21481.htm) from [Mobile Fun](http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/) last week for a mini review. You can ignore the Nano on the packaging, it suppose to be Pico. I have already feedback this to Mobile Fun.

![Plugged In](https://files.lesterchan.net/photos/bluetooth_pico_dongle/notebook.jpg)If you are like me and your laptop does not have a Bluetooth adapter, this Bluetooth Pico Dongle is definitely for you. I bought my [Fujitsu LifeBook S7110](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2006/08/04/lady-in-the-water-at-the-lake-house/) more than 3 years ago and at that time it did not come have a Bluetooth adapter for some reasons.

I have 3 USB ports on my laptop and normally I will used up to 2 USB ports (1 for mouse and 1 for portable hard disk or thumbdrive). With this settings, I got 1 USB port to spare and I can just plugged in the Bluetooth Pico Dongle to have the Bluetooth functionality permanently.

![Size](https://files.lesterchan.net/photos/bluetooth_pico_dongle/size.jpg)As you can see from the size, it is the size of a 5 cent Singapore coin. If you have bought it, I would suggest you plugged it in to your desktop or laptop immediately to prevent it from being lost.

**The [Atomic Pico Bluetooth Dongle](http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/atomic-pico-bluetooth-dongle-p21481.htm) is available at [Mobile Fun](http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/) for £8.95 (S$20.22).**
