Bluetooth 1.1 and 1.2 compatible?

[ben johnson]

I have a treo 650, it say it's bluetooth 1.1 and I just bought a bluetooth dongle for my desktop that is 1.2

Will they not be compatible?

Here is the one I bought:

Thanks for your help.

This is the Manual for the dongle. It says in it that it is 1.2 compliant (doesnt say only 1.2).

Wikipedia entry says this about Bluetooth 1.2:

Bluetooth 1.2

This version is backwards compatible with 1.1 and the major enhancements include

* Adaptive Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (AFH), which improves resistance to radio frequency interference by avoiding using crowded frequencies in the hopping sequence
* Higher transmission speeds in practice
* extended Synchronous Connections (eSCO), which improves voice quality of audio links by allowing retransmissions of corrupted packets.
* Host Controller Interface (HCI) support for 3-wire UART
* HCI access to timing information for Bluetooth applications.

So if this is right, which it most likely is...you're good. All of the other versions appear to be backwards compatible with their predecessors...here's the Link
