How come you guys in Germany and parts of Europe have Blue tooth built into your NX's??? You are either lucky or you guys really use that feature, That would be cool, I think? :confused:

Never mind, I would use it once and then forget it was even on the device. I have it on my phone and never use it, it's to much of a mess to configure it to work right.

Unfortunately, the NX80V is not sold in Europe and it looks like it will not be sold in the future as well.

Marketing reasons, but we should not blame Sony (alone!) because there are other examples. such as the Zaurus 5600 produced by Sharp.

I live in France and I obtained mine by ordering it online in the US. The NX80V was delivered to a friend, which in turn delivered it in Europe. Only thing I had to change was the power cable.

Good Luck.

P.S. if you do it, please remember your friend to describe the item as "gift" to avoid un-necessary double taxation at customs.

there is no configuration needed. just hit connect and you´re connected.

and i think we have bluetooth because we have, unlike the US, no FCC.

and yeah, we use it a lot... i think.

Yep, Bluetooth comes in handy when WiFi is not available. Just connect with BT to your GPRS phone :D
