Bluetooth PCMCIA Card Suggestions?

[safron]

I guess this would go in networking...

I'm looking to purchase a Bluetooth PCMCIA card for my Thinkpad. I noticed however that it's really hard to find good product comparisons for bluetooth pc cards. I've narrowed my selection to the 3com Wireless Bluetooth Card (Mfr. Part No. 3CRWB6096) and the Xircom CreditCard Bluetooth Adapter (Mfr. Part No. CBT). I'm not too thrilled about 3com's XJack antenna sticking out of my notebook, but I've always trusted 3com compatibility over Xircom.

If anyone has any insight into these two products and could give me an unbiased comparison (it doesn't have to be really long) I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks guys.

Meaning what? That you like the integrated antenna on the Xircom better? It sticks out to bra, but isn't retractable like the 3Com.

Let me clarify...

I'd rather have an integrated antenna that sticks out horizontally like the TDKsys or Xircom card. However, vanity really isn't a big seller for me... so if anyone give me some info on how well either of these products work, it would be great.
