    I received my Edge e220s today, and pretty much all is well. Beautiful machine, more than enough performance for me... The only thing that seems to be missing is Bluetooth. It's on my invoice, it's on the configuration listing sticker that is on the box, but no sign of it in Windows (not even Device Manager). Am I missing something, or did they forget to install it?

    Did you hit the Fn+ f5? (I believe that is the wireless for Thinkpads.) Is bluetooth listed there?

    Oh! Thanks so much. I pushed Fn + F9 (the wireless button for this machine) and clicked on "Individual Control" to manually enable the Bluetooth.

    That's great to hear!

    Are you planning on doing a review/impressions?

    I'll probably cook something up this weekend, once my Intel mSATA arrives. :)

    Very pleased with what I've experienced of this machine so far.

    Don't feel bad as I had the same issue when I got my E220s!! The invoice, the box, everything said it had bluetooth! I really felt stupid after calling tech support!
