VOIP and Bluetooth Headset?!?!

Hey all,
Saw some discussion recently about trying to get a WIFI pda working
for voip (might have been skype) with a bluetooth headset,

seemed like the conclusion was you can't really do it cos of the
conflict between wireless frequencies etc.

I have a lovely 4mb telewest connection now and its great (going up to
10mb in february) and my xlite softphone (connected to sipgate) is
working nicely. (the xlite software is cr@p in my opinion but hey its
free and it does the job!)

Would love to get a bluetooth headset working with my ibook for xlite
but it killing me trying to get it working, never seems stable at all
and never opens up the link to the headset when i make a call! grr

at moment im using the one working earphone from my ipod earphones!
maybe its better to get a usb earpiece/mic but i'd prefer cordless!!

Any advice or options out there? could be tempted to a proper IP
phone/cordless phone if i could get a handsfree kit for it, or even a
cordless phone and thena VOIP adapter if necessary?

Extra little question.....these VOIP QOS routers that netgear et al
are selling, if you plug a POTS phone into them they regulate the
internet traffic from the rest of the network so that voice calls get
priority, thats great for the pots phones but what if you are using a
proper IP phone?

Are they clever enough to know that ip phones are making voice calls
too or are we not there yet?!

sorry for the long post!!

Cheers all

Noel
