    Hi,

    Just a quick query about Bluetooth on the W3A for the UK. Specifically, does anyone know if it has Bluetooth or not? I'm thinking it does NOT have Bluetooth, but I'm hoping I'm wrong.

    If you go here (UK specs for the W3A):

    http://uk.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=W3000A%20Series&langs=11

    There is an implication it might have Bluetooth as standard, when compared with the specs fot the W3N which are at:

    http://uk.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=W3000N%20Series&langs=11

    which says that Bluetooth is optional. However, given that Bluetooth is only mentioned at the top of the page of specs for the W3A, and not mentioned at all in the Fax/Modem/ Wireless LAN section of the specs, it's not completely clear (with the liklihood being that it does NOT have Bluethooth).

    Can anyone shed any light on this? The W3A would be top of my list of laptops, if I could find one with integral Bluetooth.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Bluetooth is optional means it's an option for that Asus office to make when ordering..... it's something that has to be put in at the factory, so Asus has to order it that way.... Sometimes though they just copy their Taiwanese site's specs and don't realize that they copy over these things that say options when they either ordered it or they didn't....

    Thanks,
    Justin
