    Can internal Bluetooth be installed (aftermarket) in the S6231 or any of the S6000 notebooks? Is there some card that can be installed? Thanks.

    That would require a card slot, which these notebooks do not have. I think the lack of internal Bluetooth in their models is a serious mistake, I'm sure we'll see it added soon though.

    Guess What! There is a way to get bluetooth. Since the S6000 series uses Mini pci wireless internet cards you can replace the stock card with a nice 802.11g/b card with integrated bluetooth and even speedboster. The world is once again worth living in.

    What about going with the Fujitsu S7000 series? They have the option of having bluetooth integrated in the unit? [ :)]

    Yes i noticed that. But I already ordered the S6231 which has a better screen and I dont like the s7000's as much. So I guess ill live with an external bluetooth adapter if i ever need it. Bleh...
