Hey....
I think you are right, didn't the 3450 come with bluetooth as an option when it first came out? I don't see it in the options anymore...

That was for the m3200, which has one USB port hidden under a hatch next to the optical drive.

u could always add a BT device to an actual usb port if your that desperate. Otherwise just ask their sales rep person.

yep, i e-mailed AW yesterday and they responded by saying that bluetooth is "temporarily unavailable" due to extensive testing on wireless networking and bluetooth because of updates in the technology of those areas... thanks to everyone who helped

thx for checking w/alienware on the BT issue xliner, I was wondering about that myself. Think I'm gonna wait to consider ordering a 3450 until the BT is back.

Unless I fall into money and buy a Voodoopc....but I don't see it happening
