Good luck with this sounds like a good project.

In terms of phone software that works well with a PC, I'd recommend Floats Mobile Agent for Sony Ericsson phones (http://fma.sourceforge.net/index2.htm), its free to download and I find it excellent. It syncs phonebooks, allows sending of texts, and also allows you to place/answer calls from mouseclicks.

Obviously you'd need some sort of touch sensitive screen and UI software to interpret your finger prods - maybe someone else on the forum can help.

i would get a tdk usb one.. with the widcomm bluetooth stack as this has the audio gateway enabled so you can get voice and mic over bluetooth to the pair'ed mobile..

if you have xp with sp2 you need to delete the file bth.inf from c:\windows\inf (hidden folder) so you can install the widcomm stack.. as the m$ one does not have the audio gateway........

half! it supports the audio in and out from the pc to the phone.. that the biggest battle.

as for caller id... it in theory could be done, as the phone does output the number data using at+ commands if paired in handsfree mode over the bluetooth data to the bluetooth receiver... I have evaluated car kits and headsets with caller id displays so i know the data is there...

if you could get the caller id string from the phone an app could be writain to link that to the windows address book.... but i am no programmer..


dialing numbers is acheive again using at+ commands.. eg atdt12345 would send an attention command then tone dial and the numbers 12345..

this is how the ck3100 and above parrott car kits control the phone and also display the caller id..

The bluetooth system in my bmw even plays the MP3 ringtone through the car speakers , so there must be a hell of a lot of stuff there.
