Quick and easy bluetooth skype handset

Step 3 Put together and test

Do a skype test or skype out to someone to test it. Its kinda hard to go wrong with this, I havent put much effort in to documenting it. As I said this is just a bit of fun but I certainly prefer the feel of a tradtional handset versus messing around with getting a headset on.

Any questions, put them in the comments and I'll answer them - thanks.

Get one of those big foam rubber wedge shoulder pads and you're all set with the hands free laws... (check your local regulations...)

really this phone isn't for the car its for skype calls... you need a laptop with broadband if you want to call on the go... i would just bring a mic with the laptop if you were going to talk anywhere else because its just a hastle with a big bulky phone.

Awesome mod. I would like to do a similar transplant, but into a NES controller or old brick cell phone. I have an old motorola hs500 headset and I tore it apart and while it looks similar to the inside of an hs820 headset it has quite a few more parts. How hard is it to remove/replace the on/off function button on the middle of the circuit board? thanks John

i have a motorolla blutooth headset, and cant get it to work with other brands of cell phones can you unlock that feature, and is it possible to take the components in one of these bluetooth headsets, and convert it into a bluetooth car kit, that uses ur car speakers!
