    Not that it's a big deal to many people, but I made a clumsy mistake.

    If you order a 1564 and select the i3 option you'll have three "Recommended Upgrades" on the right. This is the only place where you can select i5 processors. Dell Link

    When you click on the first option (just upgrading the processor) it lists Dell Bluetooth Wireless at the bottom right hand corner under "Also Includes".

    Last minute I decided to opt for the second upgrade that just changes the 320gb to 500gb along with the i5 upgrade. I stupidly assumed that this would also include BT since...well you're just upgrading the HD right?

    Yea well got the laptop today...I love it but no BT. No biggie but I mean could there be any technical reason for them not including it once upgrading the HD space? Still no excuse for my carelessness.

    EDIT: Oh well...wish I saw the studio 15z at BB. Has exact same specs in a thinner form, higher RPM HD, ATI 4570 (vs the 4330 in the inspiron), backlit keyboard, wireless-n, for not that much more
