So my machine came today and I absolutely love it! Im just having one problem with my blutooth staying connected and working well with Skype. I keep getting a "Bluetooth Stack COM server has stopped working" error, Ive since uninstalled (actually did a factory wipe to make sure any entries were gone from the registry) and reinstalled skype 5.1.
I seemed to work for a little while but then would just quit. The bluetooth Im using is a Plantronics Voyager 510s (not the USB dongle one the big $#@ desk top dock with the phone wires and hook ups)
No Idea waht to do really, I'm aiming to use this bluetooth for my headset while on Skype gaming.

I had some problems with BT on mine as well when connecting to my BT mouse. I simply uninstalled the BT drivers from Dell, restarted, and reinstalled them, and so far so good. So maybe it's a driver issue.

I had trouble getting my stereo Plantronics headset working when I first got my M15x last fall. I ended up buying Blue Soleil and that fixed the problem. There is a newer Dell driver available for the bluetooth adapter, just a few weeks old, so maybe it works better.
FWIW though, I'm starting to think the Dell 370 bluetooth adapter is a steaming pile of doo. I tried to add a Wacom bluetooth tablet a couple of weeks ago, and it was horrible - had to return it and get the wired version. Whenever I would switch apps and it had to update the display on the tablet (i.e. lots of IO over bluetooth) it would freeze for 12-15 seconds, and it would just drop the connection randomly. Very few other people have had problems with that tablet, and given my previous hassles with the headset, I'm just assuming it's the 370.
Problem already...Bluetooth?
