[access-uk] Re: Bluetooth on my Asus

Hi Barbara, it is good to hear that you have very similar experiences to me in 
terms of the positive and enjoyable use of the Asus.  

Like you, I have used my netbook with Jaws and window-eyes and both 
screenreaders run very smoothly on the Asus.

I carry mine with me everywhere and it is a fantastic little machine.

I also bought an external Freecom harddisk and it meets my needs and works with 
Asus fine.

Best wishes and a happy new year, Saeed

  Hi Saeed

  I've got Bluetooth sorted and paired it with my phone, so looks like it will 
be easy enough with JAWS and not sighted assistance.

  I know the Samsung NC10 has had a lot of following on this list, but I always 
like to be different! Having read the spec I decided it wasn't for me and 
wanted to go a bit smaller as I was dropping down from a 12 inch laptop, so 
down to a 10 inch really wasn't that much. As it is I am very glad I decided to 
go for an Asus. With 1GB of RAM and 12GB harddrive, you would be forgiven for 
thinking it didn't pack much of a punch. But using it now for a few days with 
both JAWS and Window Eyes, I have absolutely no complaints to make. It is 
virtually silent even when the fan is running and the speed with only 1GB is 
surprisingly fast, a lot faster than my 2GB laptop.

  Can you tell I love my little Asus?

    Hi Barbara, it is me with the Asus.  For few weeks, I thought I was one of 
the endangered species on the list as everyone seemed to opt for the NC10 so I 
feel good to have another person with Asus EEE PC.  

    As far as the one I have, which is the EEE 1000H, there is no external 
devices needed for the bluetooth as the bluetooth is already built-in.

    You are right in terms of using the function key and f2 to toggle the 
bluetooth and wireless on/off.  However after switching the bluetooth on, you 
will have to configure the bluetooth and pairing the netbook with any external 
peripheral devices such as mobile phones etc.

    If I can assist, please let me know.

    Kind regards, Saeed

      I have recently purchased an Asus Eee PC 901 Netbook. It is a fantastic 
little device, but more on that later.

      I have been trying to use the Bluetooth and while it says it has an 
internal Bluetooth erial, when I try to open the Bluetooth software it is 
telling me my Bluetooth device is not connected. Surely I don't need a dongle 
when there is an internal Bluetooth erial? I know someone else on this list has 
one of these netbooks, but can't remember who. I would be greatful for any help 
offered.
