Making landline calls on bluetooth-enabled mobile via landline bluetooth basestation

1) Any experience of making land-line telephone calls with your bluetooth-enabled mobile paired with a bluetooth basestation that connects to your ordinary landline?

The call would be from/to your ordinary landline number. but made on a bluetooth-enabled mobile, acting like a cordless phone.

The benefits:
- convenience of not needing a separate dedicated cordless 'phone
- not needing to learn another gadget
- contacts on mobile can be used, instead of re-entering
- friends/family who have free land-line calls can call you at home on your mobile

I'm aware of a BT (British Telecom) product/service but I'm not interested in operator-specific or 'phone model specific.

2) Any experience of these products are bluetooth landline adapters that claim to do what I'm asking? :-

3) Any software needed on your 'phone to make it route calls via blue-tooth and not your mobile operator?
