I sometimes use my x2001 Frankie docked and connected to my monitor. If I have the need to use a BT device (e.g. BT headphones for a cordless experience) I have to open the lid and press the magical Fn+F5 keys to turn the BT radio on. Easier way to is to navigate to Local Disk C: >> Program Files >> Lenovo >> Hotkey >> right-click on TpFnF5 and Pin to Taskbar. Now all one has to do is click on the green transmitting tower icon and the GUI for turning wireless on/off and BT on/off will appear. Voila! No more having to pop open the lid and manually press the keys! Hope that makes life a little easier for someone!

Turning on BT when docked and lid closed
Just wanted to share a nifty little tip. Perhaps others may already know about it but I will share anyway
