    Just got my m1530.
    Bought the Dell bluetooth travel mouse for 15 dollars extra.

    Somehow anytime I try to use the bluetooth connection, my wireless connection goes down. It happens when I use the mouse and even when i tried transfering a file from my phone.
    When I don't use bluetooth, the wireless connection is fine.

    Do you think the problem is softwarerelated(vista,drivers?) or hardware related (dell internal bluetooth reciever, mouse or phone?)?

    Has anyone else come across something similer?

    Sounds like a driver issue. My house mate once bought a logitech G15 keyboard and couldn't get it to work, until he realised that the logitech drivers for his mouse were the problem. Dell probably did the same thing to their own mobo.
