Separate WiFi & Bluetooth

On the X30, both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled together and cannot be activated separately - wasting precious battery life. What about the HP unit? Will I be able to select which to turn on?
I can do that on my iPAQ 5550 now with the iPAQ Wireless application. Also, in reviews of the 6315, the iPAQ Wireless application allowed independent control of Bluetooth, WiFi and GSM/GPRS.

I can't imagine the 4700 would be different. (Of course, HP has been making lots of stupid decisions lately, so who knows. )
