A) I don't know if this is even possible, though it seems like it would be
2) I wasn't sure what forum to post in, so I thought I'd try this one and see what happens.

Basically, I want to turn my MacBook Pro into a giant Bluetooth headset. It has a microphone built-in, so it seems like it would be a perfect poor-man's speaker phone.

Ideas?

The short answer is no.

The long answer is you can use your Mac to dial numbers or connect for wireless data. For some reason no one has bothered creating a phone or apps that allows voice over Bluetooth to a computer. Only to a headset.
