I will shortly be the proud new owner of a T40, my second Thinkpad (currently using a T23). Given my dislike for wires, I am looking to get BT installed. Does my setup come with the Bluetooth antenna built-in?

It appears not after I plugged your model number into the Lenovo support page. As for how to install BT, I have no idea - I've only had my T40 for a week and a half and have a heap to learn about what I can do with it given the custom jobs members refer to in their sigs.

Requires installation of the BT antenna in the laptop's display.

Have a look at the HMM: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mo ... 192_01.pdf

You can purchase the bluetooth modem daughter card at http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-BMDC200B-Blueto ... dZViewItem

I purchased one for my T41 and it works great, comes with the drivers as well......

As for the antenna you can get one from ebay as well, still waiting on mine....
