    Hey, guys,

    I need help with my D820. I just got a Blackberry Pearl w Internet access and I want to connect my D820 to it via Bluetooth so I can surf the web anywhere. The problem is: I can't see Bluetooth on my D820, so here are my questions:

    How do I tell if the D820 has bluetooth capability (I know that Bluetooth is an option, but I can't remember if I got that option)

    If it doesn't, is there a card I can buy to add Bluetooth to the D820?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Best way is to go to the Device Manager in Windows and check to see if you have a BT device, in the HID [Human Interface Device] section (Control Panel > System? > Device Manager (tab)?) Hope that flowchart works somewhat...it's been a while now since I played with Windows settings.

    If you know that BT was an option at the time of purchase, then you can certainly get the right BT radio and install it yourself.
