European NX73. Built-in bluetooth or external module?

[Twin_Pixel]

Does the European version of NX73 offer built-in bluetooth, or does it come with an external Bluetooth memory stick?

Details are a tad sketchy...

It's built-in :)

This is what made me confused. From SonyStyle of Sweden.

"This latest slimline model incorporates the new DECUMA Input handwriting recognition tools, a Bluetooth(TM) module for the creation of personal wireless networks and a CompactFlash(TM) Card slot."

Exactly, it is built in...

See here: http://www.clieplaza.com/en/product/nx73v/index.html


Interfaces
USB, Infrared (IrDA 1.2), CF Card slot, "Memory Stick" slot, Remote Commander LED, Compact FlashTM card slot, Bluetooth


Cheers!

I just wanted to make sure. It has to be built-in, as I will utilize the memory stick port for what it was originally intended for: Memory cards. :)

This NX73 will be a great addition to my SonyEricsson T610 phone. Nice combo, I hope...

[Shadamehr]

Same here. I was unsure of the issue of bluetooth, as german pages always stated the support of "built-in bluetooth" but americans didn't.

But the european models definitely have built-in bluetooth.

[Twin_Pixel]

Just out of curiosity... Why did SonyStyle Sweden's information sheet about the NX73 say "module"...? That's just peculiar.

However, thanks. :)

[Shadamehr]

Hmmm. Sorry, no idea!

Can you post the link?

[Twin_Pixel]

It doesn't work, because of the site structure with sessions.
But go to SonyStyle Europe (http://www.sonystyle-europe.com/) and select probably any country. The NX73 is on the firstpage.

In essence it is a module, but built-in :D

I just went to SonyStyle SE, it says "Embedded Bluetooth(TM)" in the list under the discription. They probably saw your post and change it ;)

T610 is very nice, I have a change to get it for free but that means I need to go to a more expensive provider then I have now. I keep the T68i for now. I'm curious about S///'s annunciations in September.

[Defiant79]

Btw: SonyStyle NL and DE finally states that the NX73V is "Available now" :cool:

I noticed the "embedded bluetooth" too, but still, the module thingie made me wonder. :)

[Defiant79]

Yeah, sites can be confusing at times. I've seen sites that post completly wrong specs. If they are one of the first, others sometimes shamelessly copy and paste those specs on their sites :rolleyes:

So what model is the euro one exactly? I'm thinking of either a euro 73 or a ipaq 2215...

PEG-NX73V/E

;)

[slippy4twenty]

thanks! don't see ANY on ebay, matter of fact, I don't see many NX's at all (I saw two).....

[polimedia]

Well I kust bought a European Cliè from SonyStyle Italy in July and got 5% discount and freeshipping. I confirm the BT is integrated and works just out of the box with any mobile Ph. Wifi works terrific as well (in this case I ordered it at Brando which is pretty cheaper than Sony and the package arrived from Singapore in less than a week!!

[br-]

Does anyone know where one could buy this European NX73V and have it shipped to North America? And at a reasonable price?

[fidodido]

Yeah, I would like to know as well. Even if I have to sell my NZ90.

[gregor.lichtfus]

anyone already opened the nx73/E ? I wonder whether the buildin bluetooth could be taken out and transferred to a nx80..
it may be just plugged into the nx73's platine ..?
maybe we could find someone to ship the just bluetooth "module"(?!) without the nx73 around it..

[gregor.lichtfus]

by the way, the german sonystyle site still speaks of a module..
nx73V/E 599 Euros..
glad I bought my NX80 for 540...(600$)

[Shadamehr]

Cheapest price of the NX73V in Germany is at the moment EUR 457,- (!!! no kidding) without shipping.

Hope mine will arrive in two days :D

[slippy4twenty]

Don't you wish the exchange rate wasn't so horrible? Thanks bushy!
