Bluetooth for phone & PC

I just bought a wireless dongle and a blue ant q1 bluetooth headset. Reason I did this is that it supports multipairing. My idea was that I could use one heaset for my mobile and skype as I am on them literally all day.

Problem is that neither the driver nor usb dongle came with correct drivers.

I have been looking around at pc bluetooth headsets and they come with the right drivers, but they do not say if they support multipairing.

Anyone know which one I should buy?

    Bluetooth devices used to be notorious for having different drivers,
    although I believe things have become easier of late.

    I had a bluetooth Access Point which acts pretty much the same
    as a slow WIFI router ...and plugged into a USB port on my desktop.
    The actual range is usually limited by your phone's bluetooth range.
    The powerful USB adapters can have up to 100 metres range and I
    could communicate with my PC/Access Point via bluetooth with a
    lapttop at the end of our garden. WIFI is better and more secure
    for that purpose.

    My (Belkin) AP could connect/pair with a fair number of other devices.

    Other than that, track down the manufacturers/suppliers sites and
    dig for the info on BT dongles and devices.

    I managed to get it working but the quality is poor. It seems quality is down to drivers and I am using some generic ones.

    I think I might have to fork over another £100 for a plantronics setup.
