Can a bluetooth headset be used with Skype
 

Does anyone know if a blutooth headset can be used with the N800 for Skype connections? And if so which type of headset? I tried to connect an Ericsson bluetooth headset but it was not possible to do so.

Last word was that bluetooth headsets don't work with the N800 -- yet.

Well since this original post - os2008 was out , and things chnaged. I used to be able to conduct a call using my bluetooth headset. however recently - it dosnt work any longer, I mean ,I do see the headset connecting to the N800 and a blue icon appears - but no sound travels to the headset.

You can check the IT version through Control Panel->About.

Also you could try loading built in media player and playing some audio files. The same thing happened to me a few times where my bluetooth headset was connected but the sound was not redirected. This seemed to help (atleast in my case).

Also from within Application Manager, you could try running "Tools->Refresh Application List" menu. Then check the update section whether skype appears as an update.
