    I've just order a new M17x I live in Canada and I didn't know that it doesn't come with built in Blue-tooth. I don't want an extarnal I got two already. Now I'm not sure witch one to get I looked on e-bay and 2.1 bluetooth with edr you can get either the 365 or the 370 mini cards and since on the dell site only specify bluetooth 2.1 with edr I'm not sure now
    Also is very hard to install it?
    Thanks

    Yes, it comes with built in 2.1edr BT and the N-MIMO wifi. I don't think you can get it any other way because they don't offer alternatives when you build the system...atleast not with mine.

    Thanks: What's going on is that when you build the system here in Canada and go to the cart in the end when you look at your configuration near the end <ALSO INCLUDED WITH YOUR SYSTEM>: It doesn't show the bluetooth it only show the wireless Wi-FI card. When I finally got called back from Dell sales I was told that the only place it shows the bluetooth 2.1 whith EDR it's in the M17X all powerful web page and then click on Tech Specs scroll down to Network Adapters. So I did and it was there :)
