I had the same question. When it was all said and done, I guess I didn't have it. Next question. Toshiba lists a SD-card BT option. Can you get an internal BT card for the 205-S810?
Newbie question here - I just got my M200 and am unsure as to whether it was configured with Bluetooth.
Here is my hardware info:
Image Insert:
My antenna switch is on, but when I run the Bluetooth Settings utility, it states that "Bluetooth is not ready" when I select a new connection. Also, the bluetooth icon is not in my tray.
Any thoughts?

Yes. Part number PA3235U-4BTM. You can find it if you do a Google search. About $100 and I think perhaps as little as $50 if you get it with your system new from Toshiba Direct. There is another detailed thread here somewhere decribing how to install it.quote:Originally posted by mannr

Re jonhoffm's question. Antenna switch may just indicate WiFi is on. Have you tried the function key (F8) I think to cycle between WiFi, BT and both Off. I don't have a M200 yet but have been reading up on BT in this group. I think you hit F8 and another key but someione else can confirm this.
Put it in to start with. I spent months trying to get one. Other then in AU, I don't see many listing it as in-stock. Discontinued in fact.
I finally ended up using a CF BT in a PCMCIA adapter. Works fine, only real problem is that it doesn't start bluetooth until after 1st login, so you don't get (for example) HID at the login screen.
