I just got a inspirion 8600 (as i mentioned earlier).

Anyone here familiar with bluetooth and how it works, and configuring it?

I've never used it before and anyone with experience..could you please PM me or something, or if you know of a good guide, post it.

it's easy. i've never got a bluetooth device until i got a ericsson T610 and bought an USB bluetooth. once installed it works like an interface between the bluetooth device and the comp. i can't link you to a guide because i've never used one. simply work around with it and in no much time you'll be a professional.

8600 here as well. No bluetooth devices other than it, though I am attempting to trade my MX700 Duo for an MX900 so I can have a bluetooth mouse if anyone is interested

i think mx900 has it's own usb bluetooth adapter... hasn't it?? i think bluetooth it's the future and if i buy a printer or any other periphernal i will choose a bluetooth one

Yea the MX900's cradle will also double as a bluetooth adapter, but if you already have a BT adapter, then there is no point in using the MX900 adapter for anything other than recharging the battery.
