Bluetooth & Headsets

I just ordered a bluetooth equipped Inspiron. I want to use online phone services such as Skype, and would like to communicate through a wireless headset.

Is this possible with the bluetooth? If so, can I purchase ANY headset to pair up with the laptop? I'll take product reccomendations if you have any.

Ahh...

Maybe in combination with a mic and headset would work. I only need it when I chase my two kids. Wireless EVERYTHING comes in handy there! :)

Any Bluetooth headset should work, but if you use Skype frequently you'll come to notice wireless headsets aren't necessarily comfortable. They either clip around the ear, which'll turn sore, or a cheap headset will push yur ears inwards, also creating sores. Therefore I'd recommend looking at GN Netcom's range of products. I don't sell it and I am anything but commercial, don't worry, but as a Tech support agent I use a headset 8 hours a day, so yeah I'm willing to spare anyone similar pain.

Ha, if you leave nothing lying around.. You have no idea how many iPods have been lost to children's clutches ;) Good luck though!

Bought a Motorola H300 Bluetooth headset to use with my Inspiron E1505, headset will not pair. Downloaded Toshiba Bluetooth stack from Dell support, updated on-board Dell 350 BT card firmware, installed Toshiba BT stack, same result: Motorola H300 will not pair. The Bluetooth 'Add New Connection Wizard' recognizes the headset, sends tone, terminates with "Connecting to voice circuit. Please wait." then "Connection failed." I would like to use this headset for Skype VoIP, so any suggestions to get it to pair with my factory installed Bluetooth-equipped Inspiron E1505? Thanks.
