Nice to know that|  Maybe I should get one for my T43 (it didn't come with
bluetooth).

We should also update thinkwiki with the information that the new rev B
cards with 2.0+EDR do work with the entire T4x line...

However, the idea of opening the screen assembly to add the antenna is a bit
daunting.  Anyone knows where I can get a BT antenna that *does* fit the T43
screen assembly properly, like the one I'd have gotten if it had come
built-in from the factory?
