use of mobile as bluetooth

[Guest liamneerg]

hi , i have a question . can i use my omnia 2 as a bluetooth device for my laptop? specifically i want to speak through skype from my laptop but use my mobile ...

i know i can use skype on my mobile but the connection is 3g and i dont want to change cards all the time and its not convenient to speak through laptop

i have windows 7 and i manage to have my omnia sounds from the laptop but not the reverse...

please every info will be useful

i found the answer so i just wanted to put it here

No, that would not work, as Bluetooth is not a peer-to-peer protocol. In Bluetooth, everything is either a Bluetooth host or a Bluetooth device. As both the cellphone and the computer are Bluetooth hosts, they need to communicate to a Bluetooth device, and cannot talk to each other.

"Competing" technologies, like Zigbee, create a peer to peer network, where different nodes on the network can use each others' resources. If Bluetooth had used a topology like that, then the answer probably would have been 'yes'.

i have my doubts though , because i can transfer things from one to the other so they can communicate...
