Hi all!

I got a Snom 720 at my job. And we got curious! It's supporting Bluetooth by a USB port on it's back.. bottom, and the idea is to buy another product from them, this what I feel a quite overpriced Bluetooth dongle from Snom. Well, we can't have that, can we? Over priced is overrated! We do have one of them fancy USB headsets here, and much like my suspicions it all worked. So the deal is that anything that comes as a USB port related to sound do work. And with that knowledge, I would like to know if either of these are possible/exists:

    Buy an inexpensive bluetooth dongle off somewhere, that you can plug into your PC. And use a flasher to either:

      Connect to a specified device upon power up, and act much like I mentioned a USB sound port


      Have it in a pairing state where it will look for devices and try pair with them as soon as power up, and again much like the other act as a USB sound port once paired.



    Get from somewhere a cheaper alternative USB dongle that has it's own button just for pairing with devices. And it will act as a USB sound port once paired.


This all is not entirely in the name of being cheap, but to see if one could screw over companies trying to screw over it's customers. All in all, with their dedicated Bluetooth dongle and Bluetooth headset that will work, you are talking about probably $100. Let's do a quick look at Amazon just to compare this. For the sake of heck, and to prove a point. On amazon, I could find Bluetooth dongle (and it even were with an antenna, increasing the range even from the dedicated means) and headset together for about $33.5. So, in round numbers, one could either go for dedicated stuff, or go for something that's only 30%-40% of that price. Have I proven my point? This need to exist!
