    Ive heard some complaints about the using multiple bluetooth accessories at once on certain notebooks. 1) Was wondering if HEL 80 has any of these issues. 2)Also, what benefits does the blue tooth have. In my case I have only thought of me using wireless headphones and mouse with it. I think the memory transfer might be helpful. I have read of people using bluetooth to connect their cellphone to their laptop and just call/talk on the laptop, 3) anyone tried this and does it seem to be useful? are there any other advantages of blue tooth that i am missing or 4) will there be strong implementation of accessories on bluetooth in the future that i should look into getting it? anyways thanks for all the help in advance NRB is great!

    yup that most of it that you mentioned connecting your cell phone to your laptop andd then talking via the laptop is possible but the sound quality ends up being a bit low it is possible provided that you have microphone
    you could also connect to the web using ur cellphone or pda connected via bluetooth theres also synchronizing as you mentioned earlier it is useful but not essential as you could always plug in a usb dongle which you could buy for maybe 10 or 20$ but its certainly a nice feature to have as inbuilt and can be considered a bonus and yeah maybe there will a few more accessories or uses of bluetooth in the future
    and if you would like to read more about bluetooth
