According to "Device details" the N800 is connected to the headset and
the button at the bottom says "Disconnect". Whenever I dial from the
N800, the audio still comes through the speakers.

hmmm. have you tried pressing the call button (or other buttons) on the
headset while a call is in progress (probably won't work, but it's all that
springs to mind for me right now). The only other thing I can think of at
the moment is to dig through the n800's settings, including the settings
within the internet call app for an option to route audio.

I have tried the button on the headset and also looked for some setting,
somewhere. :-(

Just a wild guess: do you have the FM Radio applet installed? It has a
button that allows you to switch between the speakers and the headset
jack. It might be interfering? I'm not sure if there are other
settings that might affect it.

Also, is the connection type one that makes sense? Mine is HSP (headset).

I'm still running Chinook, though (the final version).

You could losing out to your phone. If you phone has been paired with
your headset, when you put the headset in discovery mode, your phone may
pick it up and automatically pair up before a connection with your
tablet can be established. If so, no available bluetooth devices may be
shown on your tablet.

Also beware, even regular Bluetooth can broadcast quite some
distance. If I leave my bluetooth cell phone in my car, my earpiece can
hook up (or remain hooked up) to the phone most anywhere in our 3000 sq
foot house. Take your phone out of bluetooth mode. Ditto for any
laptop or other device that has bluetooth, especially if it's been
paired up with that headset.

Finally, there are stereo bluetooth headsets that apparently can pair
with some (but not) all devices. Possibly because stereo protocols (and
hardware requirements) may be different than mono-headset protocols. I
recently got a bluetooth stereo head set. However, I haven't yet been
able to get it to pair with my tablet or laptop (with bluetooth
dongle). I haven't tried with my phone yet.

There are a number of different Stereo profiles for Bluetooth. I believe
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) is the most common, but that
relies on other elements that need to be in place. It's also uni
directional. BlueZ supports it in Linux, so in theory, it should work,
depending on which Bluetooth stack Maemo uses.

I A2DP works in Maemo, it doesn't work out of the box. I have a
Motorolla S9 stereo headset. It works with my N810 but not in stereo
(I've tried).

My headset shows "HSP".

I can see an icon for the headset in the FM radio, though it's greyed
out. My connection is also HSP and the OS is 2007. I have not upgraded
to the latest.

The "I" is supposed to be "If".
