Remember that walls take a few meters off the range, my Stud type walls
reduce the range to about 6/7 meters, but its still far enough to
bluetooth to my PC from my IPAQ in bed :)

Another thing I would suggest, is make sure that you get a half decent USB
adaptor, that supports Bluetooth audio, I didnt realise this until i got
my kit, and I was disapointed!

now when my phone rings, my PC automatically picks up, and the voices come
blaring out my speakers... its fun :)  (and obviously you'd want to do the
reverse, but it should work!)
When you install the drivers, it should install a new audio input/output
device called bluetooth audio... you just set this up to be used for input
in Control panel, and away you go :)

tell us how you get on!
