    I was a bit disappointed thatt my G72 didnt have Bluetooth, so I purchased a BT183 today and it will arrive in about a week...

    it is cheap enough that if it doesnt work i wont feel bad but if it does...well...then i guess i have bluetooth for 15 bux!

    Where did you find it? Link please? Is it the same one available @ the ASUS Store? Did you find the cable?

    Cheers,

    i am a little worried the port for the new bt mod has changed. when the bt183 module was around even then the cables for it varied.

    I found it by googling for BT adapters for the PCI slot and ccame across a thread about an Eee wifi mod and they listed the BT module that they removed. those adapters are all over ebay

    well i hope it will work :) otherwise i didnt waste too much money :p
