I have a laptop with Bluetooth and I'd like to use MSN Messenger with a
small (preferably like the mobile phone versions) Bluetooth headset.
Has anyone found one that works?
Thanks

Greetings Geoff,

They should all work actually. What you will need however is a bluetooth stack (like the
widcomm bluetooth stack) that supports audio (the built-in Windows bluetooth does not). Most
USB bluetooth dongles comes with the widcomm stack out of the box.

I could not make this work when I was using my laptop with WiFi. Bluetooth
and WiFi use the same frequency band. I read somewhere that this is a known
problem and that a standard is being worked on which will allow Bluetooth and
WiFi to work together. Perhaps by now it is available. If is, I would like to
try again.

Hi,

It shouldn't be a problem, Bluetooth is designed to operate even in the presence of
"interference".
