    Hey, I was just trying to turn on my bluetooth and it said to go control panel and click on blue tooth devices, but I dont have that option?
    Does anyone know why as far as I know I should have bluetooth right?

    Flip over the laptop and read the Service tag, go to Dell and Select "System Config" under the Product Support pop down menu and it should prompt you to enter said Service Tag, in the ensuing page you should be able to find if the Bluetooth module was install when purchased.

    thats not a bad idea but I think for the moment Im staying away from dongles,
    im using 3Broadband and its really screwing up my laptop, things like after I diconnect the internet I cant use the usb port for anything I have to turn it off and turn it on and now when I turn it on it takes ages to set up and sometimes it will just conk out and give me a blue screen!!
    And 3 are crap I cant log into hotmail or ticketmaster for some weird reason now.
    :mad:

    dealextreme.com or lightinthebox.com will have a Bluetooth usb dongle posted to your door for less than €2

    check with sales rep if you ordered with bluetooth

    yeah 3G dongles like to use the same USB port every time

    pound shops will sell you a 4 port USB hub for €2 is you need extra ports and don't worry even an old USB hub is faster than bluetooth and 3G combined
