Hi,
Is it possible to use a PC (or notebook) with a bluetooth card for
telephoning
with a cell phone ?

I think if the PC's bluetooth card could emulate a bluetooth headset ,
this should be possible.

Is there any software out there that can do this ?

Regards,
Markus

Hi,

At least my TDK Bluetooth USB dongle with associated software can do this
with my P800.

Any tips on how to set it up, mixer settings, audio devices etc.
I left my T68i paired to my Laptop and left the phone downstairs while I was
upstairs.
I heard it ring but before I could get to it the laptop must have picked it
up.
I heard my friends voice through the laptop speakers but he couldn't hear
me.
My laptop does have a built in microphone.
Is there a way to route the sound picked up on one audio device to the
bluetooth audio device so it gets sent back to the phone?

Thanks

Yep. If you have a card that supports the "audio gateway" profile (the
Widcomm drivers I use do this) then you can. I get a slight lag with mine,
so it isn't really practical to use the PC as a headset, but technically it
works. You shouldn't need any additional software. Check whether your
card/dongle supports this (or if it'll handle audio at all).
