Pairing headset with multiple devices...

I am wondering if I'm looking for the impossible...

I would like to have the ability to pair one headset with multiple
devices, with the default being the last device I paired to. The
environment is:

o Headset
o SonyEricsson T68i
o Laptop w/ TECOM Bluetooth adapter
o Desk phone with 2.5mm adapter and bluetooth dongle

Ideally, I'd like to pair the headset with all three devices and have
the last (the bluetooth dongle) be the default since it has no way of
initiating a connection. In this configuration I would initiate
connections from the T68i and the laptop (thru the Bluetooth
application) and have them transferred to the headset.

I've tried this with the Jabra BT200 w/ the 2.5mm dongle and the
latest Widcomm drivers, but the Jabra ignores everything but the last
device it paired with (that and the fact that the audio profile
doesn't appear to work, which I'm not positive is the Jabra's fault).

Any thoughts? Anyone try this?
Jim

I'm afraid most current headsets don't seem to support this :-( I've got an
HBH-15 and it's just the same - you've got to re-pair it with each device
you want to use it with and in the process you have to wipe the previous
pairing :-(( Hopefully some nice kind manufacturer will release an updated
headset that supports multiple pairings, but AFAIK there's not one available
just now.

wow! that's great news - i didn't know any headsets out just now supported
being paired to more than one device :-))

Does SE sell a stand-alone adapter for 2.5mm phones? That would seal
the deal right there.

Thanks for the info!

The Plantronics M1000 has always been able to do this.
