    Before I purchase a W7F does anyone know if ASUS use the Widcomm or Microsoft bluetooth drivers on their new Bluetooth 2.0 machines?

    Thanks in advance.

    There's an F version of the W7J? Guess it's not sold in North America. If the bluetooth module is the same as the one in the W7J, my W7J indicates it's the Widcomm drivers

    At the moment I haven't connected any bluetooth devices. I am looking for a bluetooth mouse though.
