    Due to my VGP-UMS30 not working, sony sent me a BMS30 instead. It looks exactly like the BMS33 that is out now. Anybody know how good BMS30 is? BMS33 has gotten good reviews, but I am not sure how much improvement they've made over 30. UMS30 felt real good to me, and if the BMS30 is crap, I will return it and have them just replace it with the exact mouse (though corded). Feedback appreciated from people who've used BMS30 and 33. Only difference I see is that 30 is optical, while 33 is laser based. But both at 800 dpi. Battery life?

    I can't test the mouse myself, as I don't have a bluetooth enabled computer around me. My Vaio Z is with Sony Repairs at San Diego, and probably wont' get it back until end of this week or next week.

    your Z is already at the repair shop?

    I have BMW30 right now. It's a pretty decent mouse. Not the best for gamming though. Battery life is very good (every month of so), I have rechargeable ones so just pop them in the charger and they should be ready by the morning after.
