using nokia 6310 as headset for your laptop

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.bluetooth (More info?)

Hi

i know it may sound as a strange question, but is it possible to use my BT
nokia phone as a headset for my laptop (reverse world e )

reason would be that if I want to dial somebody using skype i would just
speak and listen with my phone. Is this possible at all?
thx in advance

Arne

I didn't, but I indeed have SP2

what is ment with audio profiles? doesn't a headset have just a service
"headset" and if I connect to that, and choose "bluetooth audio" as default
sounddevice, won't it just work?

thx

Plenty of us are having trouble using Bluetooth Headsets with Win XP SP2 -
ie they don't work together, its to do with the fact that Win XP SP2 does
not support any headset audio profiles, it'll talk to phones and PDA's and
LAN devices, just not with audio.

NO! My Bluetooth places will have an "audio" profile but it won't work
unless the hardware/drivers support it.
