    I like this device, but i never use bt, to buy the bt version i suggest to wait from some reviews, the rk42 without bt seems a really good device, but the new one with bt noone knows how it performs.

      I think this is the spot for the Bluetooth chip so the PCB hasn`t been changed i hope, so the performance hasn`t been affected by adding the Bluetooth chip I think?,if you think I`m wrong please reply

      Apparently the WiFi chip has been added the same way?

        I dont know, maybe they change wifi chip and install some of the combo wifi&BT like ap6210 or other chip.

        Wait for the first reviews is allways the best option to be sure if you can wait for them. If you want to buy it assap, I think it will be a good device, but noone can assure it to you

            I asked Geekbuying if they know anything about the changes so if they reply back I will post it in the forum
            By the way about a week a goo I asked the factory which Bluetooth chip are they going to use in the device and they reply`ed just with "realteck" if that helps anyone

            PS: Thanks for the reply I`m going to wait for the review to bee on the safe side

              Maybe but the Bluetooth version of the K-R42 (the T-R42) is almost 50 dollars (45 dollars to be exact) cheaper
