Hi Bilal, someone mentioned to me yesterday something "similar"... They 
had a Bluetooth Dongle on their Asterisk box and when the Bluetooth 
enabled mobile came in range of *, calls would be routed to the mobile, 
once out of range, they would be routed to the Mobile phone number...

For a softphone - I'd probably look for a Java based one. Don't most 
mobiles now run J2ME?
