    This might be a stupid question im not sure....

    I've seen notebooks who have Internal BlueTooth Cards, the are two reason why when im purchaseing my notebook I would use the Internal Bluetooth
    1. Wireless mouse so I dont have to use a USB slot to have a working mouse
    2. To interact with my cell phone for pictures and videos etc.

    Just all the mice i have seen latley seem to come with USB port or a Dongle.
    My question is if i have an internal Bluetooth card do i have to use the USB ports or the Dongle or will the Internal Bluetooth Card act as those.

    You will most likely be able to just use your internal Bluetooth card to interface with the mouse. The only reason you would need the dongle is if it is a rechargeable mouse that docks in the dongle to recharge.

    So since my Cell Phone has Bluetooth in it, will they be able to interact? I have searched the Bluetooth site looking for answers but they don't tell you much. Like for example if i have a picture on my Phone can I send it to the laptop through blue tooth, or is it an infrared Port that does that.

    Also.. my Cell Phone is the Motorola E815 if that helps..

    You'll be able to connect via bluetooth to your cell phone.

    Just turn on your bluetooth on your computer, and then tell your motorola to start searching. They will find each other and then you just put in your security code. Then a folder will popup with all the things you can do.
