    Kind of a double whammy question here... I recently got an Inspiron 1520... still waiting for it to arrive. I also ordered a bluetooth module... i got that two days ago. lol My question is - What is the bluetooth support like on the I1520? I've noticed that all manufacturers have different bluetooth issues - stacks, profiles, hardware, and the like.
    My second question is - What is bluetooth support like in Vista? It's not too bad on XP, i guess, but is Vista considered an upgrade or downgrade in terms of bluetooth support?

    Thanks for the help!

    I installed the bluetooth module after I received my system. So far, I can say that Bluetooth integration in Vista is excellent.
