You're still not ahead on this? I think the concensus was that  
the BT approach will not work especially if you want to make it  
work with your XP DT.  And the reasons for that were made  
pretty clear - that is, lack of drivers.

Your best bet is simply use the wifi that your phone and laptop  
can already support.
