    Any way I can use my 1530 which has Bluetooth as a handsfree device with my cell phone? Are there any programs out there that anyone knows about?
    What i'm trying to achieve is that if my cell rings i can answer it through my laptop using the built in mic.

    i searched google and couldnt seem to find anything. i cant find a reason why this wouldnt be possible through a BT connection. it would be very convenient.

    What they talk about is using a GSM connections.. Why make is so complicated and just connect through BT. If a small bluetooth earpiece can do it, my 1530 should be able to too :)
