How does this differ from the Ooma wireless+Bluetooth adapter?? There is a big difference in price.

Not sure what the Bluetooth adapter would be used for but we had several 'dropped calls' using the WiFi adapter. Finally had to unplug the WiFi adapter and hard wire the Telo. The WiFi adapter was useless to us.

This is just the wireless adapter. Which did not work for me and it was only 15 feet from router.

No difference, I found it to be unreliable, every couple of days it would drop contact and my phones would stop working, had to reset Ooma to get it back, been reliable with hard wire.

Yes, you can take out the wireless module and simply hardwire directly to your router. If you don't need wireless capability then you could save $$ by purchasing an Ooma without the adapter.

If that model has Bluetooth build in, you don't need it. Check the spec's under ports. Otherwise you will need the adapter. If memory serves, it was cheaper to buy the adapter than add the Bluetooth option.

Would love to have this know the answer to this as well. In the interim, I bought one of those toshiba usb adapters http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&source;=hp&q;=usb+bluetooth+adapter+toshiba&oq;=&gs;_rfai=&um;=1&ie;=UTF-8&cid;=10279719605232388935&ei;=mpCnS4jFEZOgswPCleXZAw&sa;=X&oi;=product_catalog_result&ct;=result&resnum;=3&ved;=0CBoQ8wIwAg#ps-sellers

I believe it is less expensive than the bluetooth. It does need to be connected by a cord to the router, so it is not very portable if you want to use it "on the road". If you have a permanent place for it the printer works very well, and is fast.

I haven't bought the wireless version but I'm certain its the same software, the only difference is the bluetooth headset. I don't know how much value the headset adds because I've always used my own microphones.

The main difference between the two is the bluetooth. They use the lastest bluetooth compared to the previous model.

This one says "ooma" on it. I purchased a generic Bluetooth adapter for my Ooma and my headset paired perfectly.

I have a cable internet modem and hooked up a linksys router to it. I then hooked the Ooma into one of the empty ports on the back of the wireless router. It works just fine. In either case, I think it'll work for you as long as the ethernet receptacle is hot.

Agreed. I paid $25 for this and it was a great buy at that price. It uses ordinary 3.5mm plugs, no wireless, bluetooth, etc. Low tech and WORKS. There is no reason this should be $60.

The wireless adapter allows you the set the ooma anywhere within range of your wireless router. Otherwise in my case I would have connect the ooma from my cable modem then to the wireless router which caused me to have throughput issues.

Hi Mary: I'm not sure why this is listed as two separate items on Amazon (Bluetooth vs. Non-Bluetooth). The PB-235 that we sell ships with Bluetooth as a standard option at no charge. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks, Mike Wheeler Operations Manager AVHiFi

I just don't understand when basic connectivity became such a premium feature that it's worth more than a third the cost of the original device. I guess I can just vote with my dollars and not buy one =\

yes it works well have it about 20 ft from wireless router follow wireless hook up info when you get it and ooma has could support if needed.

it'll work. plug it into your ooma, connect the ooma to your computer w/ ethernet, give it the wireless security info, and you're set to go. People have reported the issue with constant connection drops. I had that problem but was able to solve it by changing my routers' mode. Seems some of the older compatibility modes (b/g) didn't play well with it. Try to choose N-only (2.4 Ghz), or (g/n, g/n-mixed) if whatever auto setting (b-g-n mixed, etc) you're on doesn't work.

I'm with you Allan. I just purchased the 650 at Costco.com for $325 including shipping and handling. I couldn't justify paying an extra ~ $200 for the bluetooth functionality of the 660. FYI, current Amazon price for the $600 is $517 (includes free shipping). Good luck in your search & Happy Thanksgiving Angelita!!
