I am not sure that you can buy this part seperately at any reasonable price. The laptop may have been 'bluetooth ready' - but thats like bying an 'iPod ready car stereo' - you certainly wouldnt expect a free iPod with it, you just know its capable of interfacing with one.

Your best bet is to buy a compactflash PCMCIA adapter and a compactflash bluetooth card (if you dont need your PCMCIA slot for anything else), or a Bluetooth USB adapter. Former will be $30 - $50, and the latter about $25.

Thank you! i have been looking at those external type thuings....and i might have to end up getting one, i would prefer to get the "proper bit" if there is one.....im not worried about the price i would just like my laptop to have all the bells and whistles! Lol.... is there a HP shop anywhere???
