lol spoil it liao then ask them to replace ma

I just double check. Weird, they seemed to have remove bluetooth optopn

Lol.... I guess they think that people don't use bluetooth when there's wifi. OR..... they're giving FREE Bluetooth dongle? hahahaaha okay sorry I just can't help but laugh at this silly mistake of theirs.

or is it built in already?

It's not stated as built it. I doubt it is

I purposely add this bluetooth previously
MU832 Dell™ Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module

But XP don't have driver for it

Wasted!

~ugh, spoil not covered under warranty. no problem if you would like to pay for it.

no need to laugh coz this is not mistake. Inspiron 1520 are designed only for vista. Dell did not said that 1520 fully support winxp. just accept the fact. you want to install winxp then you find own third party driver or write your self or which ever you capable.

inspiron 1420 and 1520's price keep on increasing...
haiz...

May be you can check this post from 1420 thread:

The link for the bluetooth driver for XP is in that post
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=12787444

on the download page, it mentioned the following :-
Release Title: Network: Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module (Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR), Driver, Windows XP, Multi Language, Inspiron 1520, Vostro Notebook 1500, v.5.1.0.3400, A00

My company product is going to be Vista compatible by Oct/Nov. I'll just wait till then

Or maybe by then 1520 will also support XP

I've not format and reinstall my computer for 2 1/2 years till now

It seems that the inspiron has quite a number of minor problems,
screen and graphic especially...

If I set my resolution to max, I'm having problem with playing quicktime movie in IE7. I can hear sound but the video is green in colour then IE7 will crashed

But If I set the resolution to 1024 then it is ok

what problem?

Think he meant the Lcd bleeding....which all the 1420, 1520 and 1720 faces.
But graphic wise....seems ok with me....all games works good.

the light leakage and what grainy problems...
but i just know this from the threads,
correct or not, i'm not sure.

light leakage? what is that? the light come out?

for some users with truelife display, the bottom part of the screen tend to be brighter than the top, they said this condition as light leakage.
this condition is especially obvious when you use plane black background.
Some said this is normal to laptop screen, some said the leakage is mild and they dont bother, some said it's so serious and cannot be accepted.
perhaps, we need more advise from inspirons users.

Notebook LCD is inferior to the desktop one. Even my Dell 2007WFP with S-IPS screen have bleeding problem so there is no point complaining. Besides notebook prices has come down far too much lately even though the spec improved but the price keep dropping.

agree with you...
but if too serious, it's not a normal sign, right?
i heard that the bleeding problem only occur on truelife screen?
if i customized to WSXGA+, will it make difference? i dont think so...
BTW, any way to get the bluetooth integrated?

WSXGA+ also with truelife only

Bleeding problem shouldn't be deemed 'NORMAL'. It's a manufacturing default, a sign of low QC. I guess you guys should wait for a month or so after you received your laptop before asking for a replacement unit, cause now that Dell is trying to rush the laptops out, you will most likely be getting back a unit with the same problem.

Maybe after this peak period the QC will improve.
