Cannot Recommend Zoom [Posted on 2004-11-08]
Based on a few statements made about the Zoom 56k Bluetooth Modem I purchased one for my Palm Zire 72. The information that came with it, and the web site, say it is compatable with all PDAs. I tried everything I could to get it to work properly to no effect.

I gave up trying to get it to work with my PDA and decided I would buy the Zoom Bluetooth PCcard for my laptop and use it that way. I was positive that it would work well with a Windows OS.

That positivity was a mistake. I tried everything I could to make both Zoom products work on my Windows XP laptop to no effect.

I contacted Zoom by e-mail and in about 3 days received a response. The response didn't even apply to anything I told them. I was very detailed and specific in my letter but their response could only be interpreted as them not even reading my letter and instead just giving me a generic response.

I contacted them again - being the second time - and have yet to receive a response. That was about a week ago.

Needless to say, I took advantage of Amazon's return policy.

I don't know if there is a problem with the Zoom stuff or the way XP w/SP2 interacts with it but, Zoom's customer service made it painfully clear to me: stay away from Zoom products.

works fine for me [Posted on 2005-07-01]
I bought mine back in April for my Tungsten T5 and I may have had to change a couple of settings, but once I got it going it has worked with almost no problems. Once in a while I have to redial in, but that may be my connection to my ISP. I use it daily on my treadmill in my basement, while it is plugged on a desk in my living room. I can use it outside on my porch and it works the same while it is stayed plugged into the same place. I took it to my mothers in Detroit and plugged it in, in the bedroom jack and used it in the living room. Plus my connection was even faster in Detroit than it was for me at home. I use it for email and do use the web application to access just a couple of sites, I don't think it works real well to surf the net, but maybe you have to get pages with mobile connections. At any rate it works fine for me, and I just ordered their USB Bluetooth adapter.

Product Works Great!! [Posted on 2008-08-24]
I've used this product for about a year and it works great with very little problems. It puts out a strong signal and is easily conceled in the living room on top of a plant shelf. The only issue I have is that you don't know what the internet connection speed is since the bluetooth connection only displays the connection strength between the modem and the laptop. I highly recommend this product to those who don't have high speed internet in their area yet.
