Hi all,
I have just upgraded my Dell X51v A06 to the current A12version. While running the A06 version, I had to use the Widcomm Bluetooth stack to drive my Motorola HT820 stereo headphones. Now that I have upgraded to A12, the headphones appear to work on the Microsoft stack (sort of).

Can anyone tell me which stack is better, Widcomm or Microsoft?

Thanks
Keith

Widcomm. I like how the Widcomm program handles the bluetooth radio. Even though the Microsoft stack does more now then it did... it still doesn't do everything.

Ultimately bluetooth is bluetooth. If all you do is use your HT820, and it works with either... then just use the one your more comfortable with. I've never had a bit of trouble with Widcomm.

It depends on what you want / need to do. The ease of using the widcomm manager may be worth it for some. There are also more profiles in the widcomm stack. There have been problems with the Dell gps, but you would have to read the thread for that info.

all in all, very happy with widcomm.

Thanks for the feedback. Two votes for Widcomm means that I will go that direction. I did like the ease of use while I was running it on A06.
