    Was wondering this for a while now, and so far the keywords didn't bring up anything about it before. Is it possible to use a Bluetooth enabled phone and notebook together? Like use the notebook's mic and speakers to get the call and talk back using that (Or in my case use a gaming headset).

    That's Skype, you use the laptop mic and speakers, and the AP link can be done with Ethetnet, WiFi or EVDO using BT (or an USB connector) to connect with the cellphone, or just have a PCI EVDO card.
