You don't have to switch between different terminals. The only gadget you need is your mobile, you every time use the same phone book, regardless if you are at home or not. Make all the calls from the same phone everywhere and let it decide whether it is in bluetooth range or not (make a cheap call or not). ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.

Imagine when you are at home, your bluetooth phone acts just like a normal wireless phone. You can make phone calls without having to pay the high mobile rates and it rings when there is an incoming call on your normal phone line. When your phone is out of bluetooth range, you could switch on the mailbox on your phone line or set a call forwarding to your mobile. I think there are a lot more things one could imagine...

Doing the same using a Bluetooth headset is more useful but less people have these. More people have bluetooth phones than headsets I believe - because Bluetooth headsets have only been marketed for use with mobiles and not PCs, landlines, as walkie talkies or anything else for some strange reason (the world is useless). You shouldn't have to buy a headset for say, gaming communication with say, a program like Teamspeak if you already have a bluetooth headset. And seeing as I need a mic headset I'd like to be able to use the bluetooth dongle I've already bought and kill 3 birds with one stone. p.s. using the PC for audio interface is interesting though.

Then, you can use the computer as a handsfree device: you carry the phone in your briefcase and the laptop in the desk, so you can make/receive calls without speaking to the phone -you speak to the laptop. A different thing is to use the phone as audio input: in this case you want to speak to your phone, but you want the streaming audio to reach the computer via bluetooth in order to use VoIP there (for example). So you use the phone just like a headset, the difference is that you have to hold it by hand instead of hook it in the ear. This way, all you need in the Linux point is Bluez and btsco (bluetooth-alsa) in order to have AudioGateway support. The problem is what you need in the phone end: I think at least Symbian, and the possibility to "read/write" from/to the phone audio device and implement the headset profile. Do you think is it possible? Has it been managed anywhere? I guess many people wouldn't like the idea at all... ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
