Living in a concrete house is not all the best thing as well though. My Pirelli dual-mode phone loses WLAN link just outside my flat door in the hall way, one concrete wall and about five meters from the Access Point. What luck they only used drywall inside the appartment.> Anyone tried the Plantronics Voyager 510 bluetooth headsets which > regsiters to both a mobile phone and their own base unit (which > presumably has a USB sound device)I had a Plantronics device here that connected to a phone-line-tap base station or to my mobile via bluetooth. I did not buy it though because it only worked with my Sony T610 (stone-age old, about 2003), not with my O2 xda. I sold one plantronics 510 to a customer who uses it with his Nokia Esomething, and really likes it. AFAIK the USB device that comes with it is a bluetooth dongle, not a virtual audio device, but that might be different between versions of that device, and my customer definitely does not use it. I noticed with my plantronics device back then that you needed to re-pair it (whohoo, never noticed that similarity repair to re-pair) to whatever device you want to use it with, and that sucked because it took half a minute and some interaction with the mobile or base station.> as in: > > https://www.ukheadsets.co.uk/thc-plantronics-voyager-510-usb-dongle-rn-422-action-show_detail-show_products_mode-cat_click > > I'm not a fan of soft-phones, and not sure I want to have a borg implant > on when I'm not driving, but ...resistance is futile :-# Best regards, Anselm
