I have the m1330 with BT 355 but have been unable to use my sony bt30q headphones. It will pair but not connect in Vista - there is an audio sink in services but I don't see how this is used. There is no option to play sound through bt headphones.

Anyways I purchased the MSI Starkey 2.0 dongle and installed its Vista drivers from:

http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=131&prod_no=101

and found that these actually also work with the BT355 - more profiles are added including audio (a2dp), allowing my speakers to work. When I installed these drivers, I had turned off the BT355 and used the Starkey, so I don't know if the drivers can be installed without the Starkey dongle.

For those interested in getting A2DP service out of the Dell wireless 355 blutooth module on XP or Vista:

Try the v. 5.1.0.4500 Widcom driver for the ASUS WL-BTD201M Bluetooth dongle. It apparently uses the same Broadcom chip as the 355. The download is large but has been written for most platforms. I couldn't get this driver from Dell or Broadcom (new owner of Widcom).

I now get crisp clear stereo on my Sony DR-BT50 headset.
