i suppose there is some sort of common standard interface that different brands of phones use
you may wind up poking around some C programs, then translating to ASM
once you see how the phones work...

you'll have to find the .H file, make a .INC file, and LIB
i haven't seen any already done - probably not that hard   :P

you might look around the winasm forum

There is a Bluetooth API on MSDN, it's basically a network so it uses lots of winsock.

What I would really like to see in this area(Cell Phones) is a phone that could be switched from pure wireless cell for outside,and when inside switched to run off a router from your much cheaper internet connection. This is one reason I don't have a Cell phone,and my land line is from the Internet provider.

It all depends on what prices/options you have, and how big a luddite you want to be. I leave the house occasionally, so a cell phone is quite useful, regardless of how it interacts with my home WiFi network and broadband connections.

Just sounds like you have the wrong plan, my land line without internet is more expensive than a cell phone with unlimited calls, text, internet. I could probably drop the land line, but the physical copper connection is a tad more reassuring, channeling Ned Ludd I guess.

An android cell phone running Skype pretty much has the functionality you want, but the carriers are resistant to VoIP, and WiFi is a huge power drain on phones. The carriers want femto-cells, not iPhones and Androids least cost routing VoIP.

You'd think the carriers would get a clue, but they whine about not being able to make money selling iPhones.

I don't have a cell phone,and one reason is many people I know with cell's complain of not being able to use them while in their homes. I have seen so many people walking outside in the COLD,trying to talk on their Cell's.

I guess that's the argument for the femto-cell, but again that would require some kind of viable back-haul, in which case I'd be using Skype or other VoIP, and still not be wander around in the cold.

I think we're still some way off from get a singular, seamless and ubiquitous service.

Well I'm sure we can all make excuses, but sometimes you have to have multiple tools in the toolbox that work appropriately in a given situation. A land line is appropriate when you can't get cell service at your house, and a cell phone is appropriate when you leave your house, or move away from it further than the sphere of coverage a cordless phone accommodates. If you're out of cell service, and can't reel out enough cable to extend your land line's reach, then maybe you're in the market for a satellite phone.

With just a land line you're never going to be directly contactable outside the immediate vicinity of the house. The cellular carriers have figured there is a market place for such services, and sometimes both.
