Well, most of these dongles have a CSR chip inside in any case. The words on the packaging you must look for are: "v1.2" - this is an older device, don't get it. "v2.x + EDR" - are the newest spec (2.1 is latest I think) "Class 1" - means has better range (100m) but uses more power "Class 2" - lower range (10m) and lower power consumption personally, I don't think its worth it to get a Class 1 if you don't need the extra range, but you definitely want "v2.x and EDR" as it is many times faster and more robust than the older spec. iain
