USB Bluetooth Device is so fragile

I just replaced my AVF Bluetooth with a new one cos it was freaking fragile.

My desktop bluetooth device
OK, finally I get to use this new USB Bluetooth dongle to transfer files from my camera phone. I used to remove the memory card from my handphone to transfer the files and that is really troublesome.

Now, I'm using the billionton bluetooth dongle, the one with an antenna one. The one below was the old AVF bluetooth dongle which kaput already. Yeah, I pull out the device as it's light is still blinking. I don't know it was so freaking fragile and would kaput just like that. So I bought a new one during the last PC Fair. Now I know that I should never pull out the device until my PC was switch off!
Unlike a thumb drive which tends to be so tough that it wouldn't easily damage eventhough you pull out the device from the USB port without disconnecting it from the system, you should NEVER simply pull out a USB bluetooth device from a computer.

I learned it the hard way!

Eh, you sure it's the USB dongle or not. Is it your USB extension cord that's maybe too tight and damage the dongle?

I've been pulling my slim "AVF" brand BT dongle in and out at least twice a day.

This is a fake Billionton Device. The original has the LED towards the end of the product, not in the middle. And it comes with its own driver CD(not the Bluesoleil crap)

Its range isnt that good either. I bought one of these and i have to hold the bluetooth dongle to my w810i phone to transfer data. in my opinion, thats baaaad! might has well stick to infra red or data cable in that case. 40kbps transfer rate at most.
