Really great to hear you had done it earlier. Would you mind giving few directions on how to go about it ?

Im now able to find the Linux PC as a headset via my Bluetooth enabled phone. But once i try to connect to my headset(PC) it fails ...

Awaiting your response ....

Best Regards

This is what I do.

I have a Bluetooth enabled Samsung laptop, the chip and driver are Broadcom, which is widely seen around the world. And I have a Samsung I550w mobile phone which supports Bluetooth and wifi.

When I bought it, I paired it with my mobile phone with no problem. Then you will see My Bluetooth place icon on the desktop. You click on it and a window prompts, select your mobile name.

Then you should see sth like: Alex Headset Audio Gateway (Alex is my mobile name). Double click it, and it starts to connect to you mobile.

Make sure your mobile is on and bluetooth is on, then it says sth like connected to [your laptop name]. also the Headset Audio Gateway icon on pc shows connected.

lol now play music on your mobile and your pc is your bluetooth headset.

I write this and other interesting information down on my site, if you are interested, you can check them out or PM me.
