I live in Australia and am thinking of using SkypeOut for all my international calls and some of my calls within Australia. I am also about to purchase a Nokia 6230i mobile phone and Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset for my other calls.

If I purchase an Anycom USB Adapter Bluetooth Dongle, is it possible (and not too difficult to set up - I am running Windows XP) to make Skype calls from the Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset?

Is it also possible to pair with both the computer and the mobile phone at the same time? If so, and I was making a call using Skype and someone called my mobile phone, would the mobile phone be engaged and the caller forwarded to Message Bank.

These questions are independent of Skype, as Skype may use virtually any Windows XP sound devices presented. As for BT and WinXP, the answer should be yes on all points. You should be able to pair a headset as a sound device with WinXP, and the headset should allow pairing with multiple devices. Although to be 100% sure, you will have to consult the Nokia website for these details.

On the mobile exchanged if BT'ing with Skype, no. In this case, it would simply not be able to grab the BT sound device, although depending on the device it might let you switch.

I use Anycom BT dongle and Anycom BT HeadSet-790 wit my WinXP notebook. No problems.
It is a little laborious (10 clicks) to switch Skype to BT and back
