    I didn't order any bluetooth with my 1645, but I regret that :p Now I have BT in my old lappy (Lenovo 3000 N200-0769). Would it be possible to move the BT card from the Lenovo to my 1645 without any software issues? Hardware placement should be no problem...

    I not sure about your question, your best bet is to find your model number of your bluetooth module and see if it's compatible with the P55 chip set

    Another note, you can purchase the Dell bluetooth module on ebay for no more than $30.00 ... this would be your best bet so you don't have to worry about drivers and crap like that

    Some module is a combo wi-fi/BT. As long as you have a pci-e mini card slot it's probably okay.
