I just got a BlueTooth phone: What cool things can be done in OSX?

After my venerable LG developed a flaky LCD, I replaced it w/an Ericsson T637. I knew I could iSync the phone, but I didn't know I could upload files and use text messaging thru Address Book. Are there any other cool things that can be done in OSX w/a BlueTooth phone?



Can I use my BT headset w/my Mac? If I this is possible, can I then dial my phone w/the Mac and use the headset (rightnow it seems that I can only use the phone's BT w/1 device at a time)?

    SallingClicker lets you remote-control your Mac (for iTunes, etc.) and do fun stuff like have it automatically change your IM's availability depending on how far away your mobile phone is.

    This looks like the exact thing I was hoping for.



    How to I get a headset to connect to the computer? I have paired a Jabra250 to my Mac, but it is showing up as disconnected. Any ideas? Should this be handled thru sys prefs?





    -edit-

    I must be doing something wrong. If I'm not using bluephone, I can get the headset to work thru sys prefs. If I have the app running, the headset periodically disconnects and will not operate as the headset when I place calls. Can I use the headset, the phone, and the Mac at the same time?
