Do you need to buy a wireless card for this to make the bluetooth and wireless work? Will the NEW Clie be 400? (most likely not) Should i buy a TG50 or a NX60? Can anyone answer my questions?

Question, what do YOU want to do with it? Do you have a wireless LAN or Bluetooth devices (cameras, cellular phones)?

I depends on your application, is it freedom from a desktop to browse and get email?

There is several ways to connect wirelessly, some use Infrared or a cable to their celluar phone too.

It's NOT the same as a wireless aircard, that's not available here in the states for the clie.

You have to be near the school's wireless local access network if they have one that is open to students, if you want to use the WLAN. That requires the CF PEGA-WL100 802.11b card.

If you need wireless everywhere, then you need a compatible cellular phone, You can connect to some by Infrared, cable, or Bluetooth. I think currently there is only one Bluetooth phone that is compatible.

Cables can be found here for some phones: http://www.thesupplynet.com/

Bluetooth is different, it's mostly to connect devices together wirelessly, although there is some crossover. Yes, it can get complex, sorry.
