    Hello,
    has anyone installed a bluetooth module in the R20 yet? I ordered mine (without BT) today and had a wee look on ebay for it. They are selling quite cheap for approx. £10 and I would rather have it internal then the old dongle.

    Is there a little flap like for the memory (got 4 Gb on order too :) ) or do I have to open the case? if so, would anyone have a service manual for it?

    Thanks & Regards,
    Andi

    I don't know about the internal Bluetooth since I haven't seen an R20 with that modeule in place. It needs to connect to an antenna somewhere. It might be easier to get a micro dongle which you can leave in place.

    As for the memory, download and read the User Manual. It is page 127 on the copy I have. There are two slots under a cover on the bottom as shown in a photo in my R20 review (link below). Be forewarned that some people have encoutered problems with the R20 and RAM upgrades, so let us know how you get on.

    BTW, where did you get the R20? - they seem to be disappearing.

    John

    Hi John,
    thanks for the reply.
    We got it from littlewoodsdirect since we had a large money off voucher from them (otherwise they would be too expensive).
