    Hey guys,

    Yet another question about these beautiful machines. Actually, I would like to exploit the Bluetooth functionality of my laptop (W3V) when it comes in and would only like to add to its sleekness and style. BT accessories I am looking into are:

    --Phone (Verizon)
    --GPS (Voice Operated if possible)
    --Headset (So I can use with my phone and GPS)
    --Mouse
    --Keyboard (doesn't have to be same brand)

    I am looking for compact designs and functionality and the best in each category. I mean that is the reason I went with the W3V afterall.

    Any and all suggestions welcome!

    Thanks,

    --Gary

    This is a really nice BT mouse that would work pretty well. I was going to get it for my PDA.

    Thanks for your response, startech,

    Does anyone have opinions on the MS or Logitech versions? or their media destop for bluetooth? On/Off switches?

    Thanks,
