Also the Chinese seller provides a cable, the American seller doesn't include one.

Wrong the American seller does include a cable, it appears to be the exact model that Dell sells with there Mini's.

Yes! The American is the exact model.

I have one of each & installed the American one since it was the exact model.

It works perfect.

P.S. You might as well upgrade the memory while you are rootin around in there.

I don't know if it's legal in this forum, but can you link to the "good" one with the cable? I'm looking to pick one of those up also.

Sure: 2.0 Bluetooth module with cable for DELL Mini 10,10V,12 - eBay (item 160350489444 end time Jul-31-09 16:30:31 PDT)

And to be honest with you I found the drivers from Dell to be very cumbersome and hard to use with both my cell phones then I found this driver at the bottom of the opening thread. Download that and then use Windows to configure your BT, so much easier.

Follow Nimrods instructions...

Thanks...just picked one up and I'll use that driver when I get it.

No issues in OSX?

issue with inability to turn it off
there is a workaround perhaps
go to the os x forum and look up the bluetooth terminal mod thread.
