Ok Is the embeded Bluetooth in the Euro version worth the extra mula? I've never used the bluetooth thing before and I have to buy an extra dongle? For web surfing I'll probably buy the WL110 or something so is the built-in Bluetooth worth the extra cash or should I buy the US version?

depends what your useage is.
If you have a mobile phone that is equipped with bluetooth, you might want to spring extra for the Euro BT version of the NX73. That way you can connect onto the net anywhere you have cell phone service.
On the other hand, if you don't have a BT phone or don't want o bother getting a BT phone and don't really care about being able to go online anywhere, you should just stick with the US NX73.
Bear in mind that the Wifi Access is limited by the proximity you are to a wifi access point, which is not available everywhere.
Or you could just get a UX50 and have both bluetooth and wifi!!
Also bear in mind the WL110 retails at $150 (but the wl100 or wl110 can be had for about $80 on ebay...)

I have the Euro NX73 even though I live in the states. Prior, I had the NX70. I would use WIFI when available. Most offices equipped with wireless networks are encrypted. At my office or home, I would use my laptop more to be online.
I purchased a cable to go online via my cell phone. It got to be a pain.
Since purchasing a BT phone (Sony Ericson T616) I am able to retrieve my emails via Clie Mail anywhere. I use the SMS constantly and receive messages from my office throughout the day.
Searching the internet via BT is about as quick as a dial up connection.
For me, the NX73 Euro is perfect.
