    I have just acquired a notebook with bluetooth enabled. Is it possible to
    use a bluetooth earpiece and mic such as the ones used with mobile phones
    to communicate on voip such as skype?
    Can anyone give me a link or tips on doing this please.

    It is easy to use, but it depends if the Bluetooth software *and* hardware
    on your laptop supports the Headset (mono) or Advanced Audio Distribution
    Profile (stereo, aka A2DP).

    If it is a Sony Vaio, or uses a 3COM software, you are out of luck. If it is
    using the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Bluetooth stack, you are out of luck.

    Currently supporting the headset profiles are the ones based on Widcomm,
    BlueSoleil and Toshiba. Supporting the A2DP is only the BlueSoleil, with
    Widcomm software coming soon.

    Check our Bluetooth Guides on how to connect it to your laptop: (scroll to
