Dell X50/X50v � Bluetooth Qualified & Delayed
Duncan's data digging has brought forth more results since the last time. A new letter on the FCC website requests now requests confidentiality for the External Photos, Internal Photos, Test Setup Photos and User Manual until the 8th of November. The original confidentiality date was September the 24th 2004, so this looks like a six week delay. There's also an updated label placement picture, which is now a drawing with slightly more info than the original photo.
Meanshile at the Bluetooth Qualification Program Website, Duncan turned up even more info about the X50/X50v (including that new product number). It looks like the Bluetooth version is 1.2 and that the following BT profiles are supported: Headset, Dial-up Networking, Service Discovery Application, Generic Object Exchange, Object Push, FTP, Basic Printing and Personal Area Network. Looks like a decent set really. Shame about the extra wait, I really like the way the X50 is shaping up. 8)

I love this, we are using the FCC to determine release dates.
I say hogwash!
Nothing has changed and the release date is still early October. The day I believe a FCC website for a release date is the day I've had too many shots of tequila (for the record, I've only had one today).

Lets just wait and see. If it does launch in early October then I'm not complaining! :wink:

Does anybody know if the new Dell PPC will have phone capability or can one buy a module and use it as a cell phone? Thanks

I've updated the VGA Pocket PC comparison chart (see my sig below) to take into account the new confirmed detail that the X50 has Bluetooth version 1.2 - the Toshiba e830 details have been updated as well.
