    I've finally got my wife talked in to letting me order my 1720, and now it looks as though the Bluetooth option is no longer available!

    It doesn't show up as an option on the configuration pages, so I'm not sure what the deal is. I checked both the 1520 and the 1720 both same deal (US Website).

    Has anyone heard anything regarding this? I couldn't find anything on a quick search of the forums.

    very odd, it's not showing up for me at all either from home or work
    and I'm on the US home/office site.

    I see now.
    If you select the far right inspiron (the $1,099 After $288 Off Instantly!
    Free Upgrade to 2GB Memory and 160GB Hard Drive! Value of $275! one) bluetooth doesn't show up as an option, but if you select the $969 one it does. Very odd. I'm assuming that bluetooth is already "built in" on the 1,099 model, but I wanted to get some of the bluetooth accessories that also appear on the bluetooth config page.
