    i've recently purchased the BlueAnt Q1 and using it with my iPhone... just wondering if it can be paired with my laptop so i can use it for Skype/Ventrilo...

    if so, i'm considering purchasing the Bluetooth card for my Dell m6400 laptop...

    anybody who uses so, i'd appreciate comments on quality and such.

    thanks...

    I don't have yours but you can pair almost any device with a PC.
    And so I also pair a Sony Ericsson BT Headset with my PC which I also pair with a mobile phone sometimes.

    And your headset will work, too, 5 seconds google search:

    So far as I know, you can use it. BlueSoleil can allow Bluetooth headsets to be used for VoIP. I'm unsure about any other Bluetooth driver/program, though.

    If you put it in paring mode it most likely will pair up and work. Normally holding down the power and use and pairing code of 1234 or 0000 does the trick (If you need it).

    Yes a PC can do anything any other BT device can + more usually.
