@ Cindy, yes you can but more than likely you will have to pay for the tethering from your phone service provider.

Thank you. That is a good question. I actually do not know, as I never use Bluetooth. Best to "Google" the computer model number and check the specifications.

Check the full specs before buying. As far as I know, it does not have bluetooth....

It does not seem to have bluetooth. I ordered on Black Friday and got it Sun, Nov 30. I've been playing with it since and do not see it anywhere, including device manager.

Yes, it has the latest bluetooth (4.0). And as far as how it runs Photoshop and stuff, I would say it's fine. It's a good laptop and so far everything is well. Sony makes great computers.

No. I don't think anything in this class has bluetooth. I could be wrong. I wasn't looking for it. I believe you can add it relatively inexpensively with external hardware.

Looks like I was wrong about 4.0. Neither the unit itself nor anything I could find in the box it came in gives any indication of whether it's 3.0 or 4.0 (there is no Bluetooth Smart logo on the unit for example). I thought at first it was 4.0 based on http://www.portablehifi.com/reviews-best-bluetooth-music-receivers/ . However www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/bluetooth-music-receiver-bm10/specifications says 3.0 which seems more likely. If you're hoping to use BM10's apt-x, lots of luck with that. http://www.jessebandersen.com/2013/03/csr-harmony-software-details.html gives a very clear picture of the pain you'll be in with the BM10. The method described there at November 13, 2014 at 1:36 PM worked for me but has the drawbacks pointed out below it. I bought it because it claims to support apt-x. However I've had no luck getting the AZIO BTD-V401 (which has apt-x) to connect to it---the BM10 unpairs itself immediately after pairing but the CSR Harmony software believes it is still paired. Tested on Windows 7, 8.1, and 10, both 32-bit and 64-bit with Net 4.5.1. Other BT transmitters without apt-x connect ok.

Yes....it uses bluetooth but it has to have tablet capabilities. I went to Best Buy and bought a Bluetooth called Jawbone. It's like 80 bucks and its still sounds choppy. This is a very good brand of Bluetooth. But 1 thing I can tell you, I ordered this tablet in October 28th by November 1st it stop working on me so I had to reorder another 1. Keep in mind if this breaks down there is no where you can take it. And the company does not help you at all because this tablet is made in China. But Amazon will refund you within 30 days. But I like it for my needs. Just take very good care of it. Very fragile tablet!! Yes....it uses bluetooth but it has to have tablet capabilities.

Don't know I don't have bluetooth capability on my laptop with 8.1. Haven't tried it like that on my windows 7 laptop that does have bluetooth. Will update if I do at some point.

Sorry, no. They come in only 1 interface. So it would be either ANY+ OR Bluetooth. Regards, Thom in Tech

It does not come with bluetooth, you might try a bluetooth adapter but may have trouble pairing to your device. Hope this helps

I see nothing about bluetooth support. It has audio out phono jacks (red and white), an earphone jack, and a USB port. I does take songs in from Windows Media, but I'm presuming that's part of the WiFi (802.11n) capability. I don't even know if (but doubt that) hooking a bluetooth transmitter to the the USB port work outbound since USB in doesn't necessary mean USB out. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

They had to disable internal support; as far as I know there were no updates; and it's a dead product idea; which is a shame because it worked really well. I just got a $14.95 bluetooth nub... I know there's only so many ports then you need a hub; but.... it's /nosupport.

Hi, When I look for bluetooth radios in the device manager it is not there so technically I guess it doesn't have bluetooth, but let me ask you why do you need it? The reason I am asking is, I have connected a wireless mouse and keyboard via a USB port and they work just fine. The only other reason I can think of that you might want bluetooth is to transfer files, but there is a multitude of other ways to do that. The most important question is how did I only pay $619 for the exact same computer on Amazon. I bought when Amazon had them in stock just 4 weeks ago and it was sold and fulfilled by Amazon. Now there are only other vendors. This laptop is incredible and I wouldn't let bluetooth stop me because technically, I think you can do everything you need without it. Again, I am doing a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with it just fine from 20 feet away. Keep checking the price and when it goes back to $619 - buy it.
