    Some burning questions:
    1) Does all A8Jx models world wide have no bluetooth?
    2) Will BT be included in future releases of A8Jx models (in particular, the current A8Jm available in Canada)? If so, that would suck for those who purchased it now (Like me)

    I found this interesting:
    All these Australian websites selling A8Jm claims that it has built in BT:

    Are we getting the jipped here in Canada?

    Could of been like the Z70v -> Z70va situation, the former had the button and light, but no BT, the latter had BT. It should be installable, just that, first the slot has to be found :)

    I think the A8Jc's that are being sold in the UK have BT.

    What is the number one reason they omitted bluetooth? I mean, it's a fairly high-end system being the only 14" notebook on the market with a go7600, so why couldn't they just include it when it was obvious that they should have?

    It's like buying a lexus that only comes with cloth seats.
