Need to do the following: Using a voip application on my laptop (IBM T30)
to make phone calls. Want to use it with some kind of wireless headphone set
so that i can talk through the headset, information to get to laptop
wirelessly and
then to the voip application. Looks like BT can do what I need. However
laptop
doesnt have inbuilt bluetooth so I understand that i will have to purchase
usb->BT adapter
and use it with a BT capable headset. Is that a correct plan?

Here is what i plan to purchase:

either
CARDO Systems SCALA SCALA500 Headset
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826164001

or
PLANTRONICS M2500 Bluetooth Headset
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826106052

to be used in conjunction with

either
D-Link DBT-120 Wireless USB Bluetooth Adapter
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833127117

or
Zonet ZUB6101C Bluetooth Device
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833130023

Is this the correct equipment for what i need it to do

thank you very much

just make sure the WIDCOMM stack software (which is the software for the
bluetooth dongle) is version 3 or above as this contains the headset profile
u need...if the software does not contain the headset profile u wont be able
to use it for VOIP etc...I believe the D-Link DBT-120 has only version 1.4
of widcomm...but not sure...

my belkin has 1.4.2 and i would NOT recommend that one for ur use....in fact
DONT ue any belkin as they r cheaparses when it comes to having updated
software for their bluetooth dongle...

and that goes for a lot of other bluetooth vendors 2...

cheers ;)

ps...i was forced to find the cracked version of Widcomm 4.0.1.700, now all
my bluetooth adaptors work the way i PAID for them to work...
