Well I agree Newegg is less of a risk. I had one of the cheap ones off eBay and the laptop would "loose" the driver so newegg offered one on sale and I ended up buying last December

IOGEAR GBU421W6 Bluetooth 2.1 USB Micro Adapter

(slightly more expensive version of the one trippb mentioned) and so far it has worked flawlessly. I would have to say it's been worth it.

I did answer your question kiran.

Bluetooth is an option available for your laptop but is not a given, so if you didn't buy it with bluetooth then it doesn't have it.

Maybe.

It can be bought with bluetooth.
It can be bought without bluetooth.

Did you order bluetooth when you bought it?

No..

I didnt checked whether the laptop contains bluetooth option or not before purchasing it..

I guess you may be right like the laptop doesnt contain bluetooth itself

Now do i have any other way of enabling/installing bluetooth stuff in my laptop .. or no way of using bluetooth here after ..

any idea ??

Thanks
Kiran

Buy a USB Bluetooth Device. When you plug it in to a USB port it adds Bluetooth functionality.
