Hi All,

I didn't spec the bluetooth module at the time of ordering :( and now wish I had, looking about it would appear that you can buy the module for about £30 and it just clips in.

After a neat solution rather than USB,

Found this,

Dell TruMobile 350

However emailed an american site and the guy said I need the 300 version, does anyone shed some light on it please as the 300 is slower.
 
Update should anyone else be thinking about this, ordered the module 350 from ebay, arrived this morning plugged in and works a treat.

Only problem is while you get the driver disk and a single screw! you dont get the bracket that holds it in tbh its a tight fit anyway so not a problem.

Turns on and off with the wireless and even get the blue led :)

Cost me £31 all in, well chuffed.

£30 for a bt adaptor. :eek: You can buy cf ones for £10.

:) After the last USB adaptor something was going to go out of the window, and yes the toshiba software works a treat, bit odd shipping with a Dell thou even on a Dell disk.
