Everything Nola mentions is pretty much truth, Windows, unknown bluetooth hardware, unknown audio hardware, you'll never find a Windows solution that matches the quality, as far as sound, of an OEM car kit. It's just not possible. The ONLY way to get an OEM quality bluetooth solution on a PC is to use bluetooth over UART protocol, and route SCO data to a voice codec, in turn which can be connected to a hard line in on the pc. Obviously, there are no solutions out there that utilize this, it's all SCO over USB, so think about that too. Synchronous voice data, being transferred over an asynchronous bus such as USB. Not ideal if you want "voice quality". With that said, BLuesoleil has done a good job with what's already there, and I believe that when we can add a software based echo cancellation processing algorithm to mic data in Centrafuse, that it will be more than useable, we will be wroking out these issues over the next several months and throughout summer/fall...
