    I have an hp zv5000, how can I add bluetooth to my laptop. I will soon purchase a new cell phone with bluetooth and would like to be able to transfer data. Also, how much would it cost?

    You can easily buy a USB Bluetooth dongle, it shouldn't cost more then $30

    PCMCIA as well, but it is expensive.

    If you had the part # and a supplier you could just get a replacement mini pci card that has both on it. I dont know what either are though..
