    ok so I am thinking of trying to use my motorola headset that I have been using wioth my phone to use for VOIP in BF2. anyone else do this? is it even possible since I have the bluetooth card? I would have already tried it but I am having trouble with my head set. I thought I had taken it off the phone but now neither the phone and notebook detects the headset and the headset no longer works with the phone. I think I screwed up something whe I tried to take the headset off the phone.

    I used a jabra headset for voip in gaming, but i soon found out why most people dont. Battery life just isnt their, quality isnt great, and it sucks up memory and cpu cycles so some of my higher on games ran slower than normal. I know it sounds cool to use ur headset for your comp, but its not worth it. Go to the store and buy a cheap 10$ headset, it will be much beter.
