My laptop (Compaq Presario V3000) does not have bluetooth. Few months back I bought a bluetooth dongle to connect to my cell phone. One fine day the bluetooth dongle got damaged.

Now I also have this wireless mouse (Logitech M215), which also has a teeny-weeny dongle. What I am trying to figure out is, whether I can use the wireless mouse dongle to somehow connect to my cell-phone.

Is it possible?

From the looks of the Logitech mouse specs on Logitech's website it looks that M215 is not a Bluetooth mouse hence the dongle is not Bluetooth dongle. It would also be beneficial if you did say what phone you're pairing with your laptop – Darius Nov 14 '11 at 18:41
I doubt your phone has any way to handle a mouse. The attachment for the wireless mouse would allow the phone to talk to the mouse, possibly... if your phone had any need for mice. I'm not sure what you desire to accomplish, even if it works. – Myrddin Emrys Nov 14 '11 at 18:42

I think DMX is trying to ask if he can use the mouse dongle to pair his cellphone with his laptop. Correct me if I'm wrong. – Darius Nov 14 '11 at 18:45

The M215 isn't a Bluetooth device. The M215 uses the Logitech® Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology, which is not the same as Bluetooth. Unfortunately, you will not be able to connect your phone unless the dongle also supports Bluetooth. From what I've read, that doesn't appear to be the case. Sorry, you seem to be out of luck.
