Hi,

I have just received a Q5 and a Q7 from China. I have managed to get Mer running on the Q5 with no trouble using the excellent instructions (thanks) and I have got a WAP wireless network running too. I Also got QT embedded running so things are shaping up well as that is part of my final goal.

I am somewhat confused about the bluetooth though. Is it built in or is it via a usb dongle? All of the blurb implies it is built in but I cannot find it - it seems odd as it is even mentioned on the side of the box - (Bluetooth) V2.0 + EDR - Do the brackets mean it is supported but not supplied?

The Q5 only has a Mini B USB connector - I have never seen a bluetooth dongle with a mini B connector? (does such a thing exist? - Google failed me on that one!)

The Q7 (which I have not really played with much at all yet) comes with a type A blue tooth dongle (it has a type A socket as well as a type B) but there was nothing like that in the Q5 Box.

It seems odd that they would make a point of promoting bluetooth on the Q5 if there is no practical way of using it?

Any insight would be appreciated.
