How do I use my laptop as a cell phone wirelessly utilizing Bluetooth and an
AirCard 750 both in the laptop? Can the AirCard pass data to the BT device
and transmit to a BT wireless headset?

Don't know what an AirCard is.

However I can use my Plantronics USB headset and TDK USB Bluetooth dongle to
use the earphones and microphone on my PC connected to my Nokia 6310i mobile
phone.

I presume this is more or less what you are after?

Basically, if you have a device which will act as speakers and microphone to
your PC (such as a USB headset) and you also have a Bluetooth connection to
your mobile phone, you should be able to use your laptop as a handsfree
phone.

To go all Bluetooth you need an adapter on your PC which can support a
Bluetooth headset and a Bluetooth phone at the same time.

I haven't managed this so far, but apart from using your PC as a phone
directory and dialler I can't see much point as you could connect the
headset directly to the phone :-)
Bluetooth audio is not much good compared to a wired connection.
O.K. for a phone, but not for music etc.
