It should work (as long as you don't have XP SP2)...

The driver suite and GUI for the BT module in my Latitude D600 appears
to have a headset profile, though I don't have one so I can't tell
you for sure that it works, but the other stuff (Palm, phone, mouse)
work well, and I'd expect it to work. Note that some headsets have a
headset profile while others have a hands-free profile, and there are
some minor incompatabilities...
