Is there a way (or has anyone already got) to add an icon or shortcut to the menu which would turn BT on?

In the 770, the BT icon was persistent, but Nokia in all their wisdom (not!) decided that was too convenient for the users of its tablets, so they made the icon disappear when not used. Until this day, they haven't found it necessary to listen to the complaints about that "feature", so: no.

I have a control panel icon in my Simple Launcher strip, which makes the procedure marginally less irritating.

You know what gets me most? The Bluetooth applet for the 770 was written by community members and it worked perfectly as it was. And yet Nokia thought they had to change it. Like just about any community software for the tablets that Nokia thought they could "improve", they f*cked it up.

Dumbass corporates...
