780726 2009-06-09 03:11:00 There's wireless (IRDA), or bluetooth. First you have to figure out WHICH one you want. And what the laptop has onboard. As one wont work with the other. Even tho you can use both wirelessly Speedy Gonzales (78)
780727 2009-06-09 03:22:00 laptop has bluetooth hammer (1735)
780728 2009-06-09 03:29:00 If you're in NZ, one of of these should work (search.dse.co.nz). If the phone headset, is also BT that should also work Speedy Gonzales (78)

780732 2009-06-09 03:53:00 No probs Speedy Gonzales (78)
780733 2009-06-09 04:21:00 Just be aware that trying to get a BT headset working completely on a PC can be quite difficult. I spent quite some time getting my BT headset to work with my PC (Windows Vista) because of the way Microsoft cripples the bluetooth stack. somebody (208)
780734 2009-06-11 04:35:00 ordered the nokia bh-200...on the strength of speedy's recommendation....arrived in hokitika this morning.. way quicker than usual mail.. anyway charged, set it up sweet as... not aflicker of a problem working real good...
my daughter had brought me one ages ago the xbox 360 m/soft one and i never got it to work but this phone one has been no drama at all says it works with in 10mtrs of base but it is working better distances than that..also really comfy soft plastic ear hooks..
i am a happy camper
