    Motorola HS850 + Bluetooth dongle + Skype = Possible?

    Following on from my Bluetooth dongle thread, i'm toying with the following idea.

    I regularly make a lot of international calls using my BT landline via providers like Planet Talk. However, I was wondering if I can use my Bluetooth headset (Motorola HS850) with my Bluetooth-enabled PC with Skype (SkypeOut product)?

    Would my PC recognise my HS850 headset? I assume it's down to the dongle that I use on the PC having the correct profiles? It's just an idea to avoid having to buy a Skype-compatible phone and use up another USB port. It would also give me freedom to move around the flat when I am on a call.

    Has anyone done this or know if it's possible? If so, what type of dongle would I need?

    In case anyone is interested, I got this working! I bought a Belkin dongle (part number F8T008) for £20 from PC World.

    My Motorola HS850 Bluetooth headset works great through this dongle and Skype.
