I've been using the internal USB-attached Bluetooth on my T40p, and it
works great under Linux. The bluez drivers that came with SuSE 8.2 work
great. I've used my phone to control the computer via btcontrold, and
I've setup internet access through my T68i and my friends T610 for the
times I'm traveling and want to do a quick email check. Internet access
over bluetooth / cell phone is cool, but the usefullness depends on the
phone's service provider - using my AT&T account I get charged by the MB
for GSM data and using his T-Mobile account was too slow to be useable
(it was taking minutes to contact sites where as through AT&T it was
seconds or fractions of seconds).
Having owned now both a T40p and a Dell Inspiron 5000, I find that the
Thinkpad is a much more solidly build machine. The T40p LCD panel is
firm and doesn't flex, where the DELL would flex under light pressure
and ultimately resulted in the demise of the DELL display on one of my
trips.

Can comment on bluetooth here: fully supported as far as I can tell at
least for what I want to do. I'm using phonemgr/gnome-bluetooth/tsemgr
to talk to a Sony-Ericsson T610 mobile phone and it all works pretty
well. Needed CVS versions of openobex and tsemgr for better stability,
but it basically all works. Unlike in Windows, Fn-F5 doesn't turn
on/off 802.11b wireless, but it does do it for bluetooth.
If anyone wants more information just ask.</I></FONT></PRE>
