Aim: To connect my HTC Touch to my laptop and to seamlessly use it as a headset for talking on Skype - i.e. use the cellphone microphone for input and the cellphone speaker for audio output.

Note: I know that there are bluetooth headset per se that may be paired with a PC, but I would like to know how to use my existing phone with this and understand whether this is technologically possible.

I am both interested in opportunities of bluetooth or wi-fi methods for connecting. In addition, you may supply info for software or hardware tools, but software fine tuning is preferred.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

As far as I can clarify I want to use my mobile:

a) as a bluetooth connected headset
and
b) as a bluetooth connected microphone

Are those implemented in the bluetooth profiles which are running on my mobile phone? (or on any other phone).

In general it would be possible based on technology, hence there are bluetooth headsets with integrated microphones. But are the needed profile extensions on the bluetooth protocols implemented by the mobile phone vendors such as HTC?

In other words, is the protocol stack extended by the chip vendor of the bluetooth chip inside the HTC - probably not HTC itself? And is the protocol stack implemented into the operating system - Microsoft mobile 6.1 by either HTC or Microsoft?
