Hi all!

this is something that I have been wanting to do for forever, but just can't get it done.

I had a samsung sync and i could connect to it and use my windows laptop as a headset (the laptop's speakers would project the caller's voice and i could speak back to them through my mic. This was all done via bluetooth, and it was amazing. See, i don't get signal in my basement, and that is where i hang out, but if i put it by the window, i do get signal, so it was nice to be able to sit on the couch and have a conversation. also, i see tons of dashboard widgets that allow for bluetooth texting, but none seem to work with my 8100 or any blackberry for that matter...

is there any way to get this task done in os x?

I just did tons more searching of google and here, and all i get is how to use it as a BT modem. I don't need that cuz that part is taken care of. Does anyone know anything about this? any comments? success in windows? or perhaps with another phone?

come on guys... there has to be a solution somewhere... or a non solution. if it can't be done, then it can't be done!

Unfortunately Macs don't expose an Audio Gateway profile, which is required for phones to use your computer as a headset. There's been some rumor that this functionality will be added in OS X 10.5 ('Leopard') which is due out by the end of the year.

Thank you for your post as this is good news! I hear 10.5 is due by the end of this month!
