Thank goodness bestbuy has an easy return policy.. Just thought I'd mention it here in case someone else is thinking of buying it without reading the box

Not regarding the BT keyboard, but...

From what I've read, XP doesn't have native support for Bluetooth. I'm using an IOGear USB Bluetooth adapter for my Sony T68i and it was quite a hassle to get working with the Outlook sync software.

I'm still having issues "browsing" the phone using Bluetooth, although I hear IR works fine. "Early adopter" issues I guess...
