Idea #5588: Make my desktop/laptop works as a bluetooth headset

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #28: Enhance mobile devices sync .
Written by jadjay the 24 Mar 08 at 15:39. Category: Accessibility. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
With this feature when your ubuntu is started you can leave your phone in your bag or elsewhere, at least you are warned about your call, and with an extention you can send mms or sms or else... This should increase the use of laptop and mobile phone and more this doesn't exist nor in vista nor in mac OS, ubuntu could be leader for once...
You don't start from scratch this is a project about that feature :

This is a great feature!

This will increase useability for nomad users, who will let there mobile into bags/pocket and call with the ears and the microphone of the laptop, this will also develop the use of meetings' calls, you could be several between two points with your mobile/laptop.

Sending sms as emails or else could be intresting also but nor vista nor mac had develop such solutions...
