    which one should i get? on ebay i see both 355 (bluetooth 2.0) and 360 (bluetooth 2.1 supposelly).

    355 seems to have broadcom chips, more frequent driver updates. 360 is some CMR chip with only one driver from early 2007.

    I've used 350, 355, 360, and can't tell any difference between all.

    I use BT for my BT diNovo keyboard, media pad, and mouse only though.

    i think your best bet is to check which card is used in the current 1530's and go for that

    I think the m1530 uses the TM 355 module.

    You may use 360.

    I've tried it on my M1730, and 355, and 360 both work on the same system.

    Get whatever is cheaper.

    I got my refurbished 355 from dell for $11 shipped. It works like new on my Vostro 1400 in both XP and Vista.
