A Bluetooth Stack is the software (always device specific, customized by the vendor or manufacturer. In this case the vendor, Dell) that makes use of the bluetooth hardware on your device. Bluetooth has a few different ways of connecting with other devices called profiles (OBEX [File Transfer], DUN [Dialup on Cellphones], A2DP [BT Headsets], etc.). The Bluetooth Stack that Dell has put on the Dell Axim x51v is very limited in that it does not support a whole lot of profiles. People who were upgrading from the x50v (or any other Axim before) now realized that they couldnt use their headset, their bluetooth headphones, their phone to send SMSs, their phone to dial numbers, etc. Some people who had spent hundreds of dollars on accessories bought the new Axim and couldnt use it any more because of limited software.
