Does anyone know if resellers sell BTO ibooks? I don't want to buy (actually I can't) from the online Apple Store, but would like to have internal Bluetooth.

Thank you!

from what i've seen, the only way to get the internal bluetooth module is to bto from apple directly...which sucks!

want to explore this myself, as i want some other options, and the applestore may not be the way to go for me.

anyone else??

I know for a fact that in Germany resellers can't purchase an iBook with the bluetooth module built in.

It's a very unfortunate scenario for the resellers, and probably bad for apple too. They seem to think that people will pay the very high prices of the Apple Store just for a small piece of token gadgetry that people won't be able to get otherwise.

I'm buying a 14" iBook without the bluetooth module from my local reseller - screw Apple and their reseller (and customer) unfriendly attitude.
