    I purchased my FE590P with the Bluetooth module included, but I have been unable to connect a Bluetooth headset to Skype or VOIP in general. According to Sony's Tech Support, even though the Help files and the promo literature indicate the contrary, the problem is that the Bluetooth software or hardware (I dont know which) in the notebook does not support the A2DP service, which is the one you need in Bluetooth to use headsets. Has anyone encountered the same problem ? Any workarounds ? Any ideas ? Thanks

    The FE comes with Toshiba Bt right?
    It should work fine.

    I have just realized that my wireless switch utility is not working. Can I do it disabling the device in Device Manager ? If so, the device is the one under USB Controllers >> Bluetooth USB Controller (ALPS/UGX UGPZ6XC02A) ?

    Just finished the trial. It does not work. According to Sony's Tech Support, the hardware used in this particular model does not support the A2DP service.
    I am currently using the Motorola PC850 USB adapter plus the H500 headsets and Skype works great.
