Turning a Nokia into a Quickcam?

Can I use my bluetooth, Series 60 mobile phone with camera and video functions as a video/image/sound device under Windows on my bluetooth-enabled PC?
I have a Nokia 6680. I have a couple of different PCs with bluetooth: a Fujitsu Lifebook and a generic whitebox with a Microsoft dongle. The phone claims to have an "imaging" service when you connect to it with a bluetooth manager. Is there anyway to make it feed video (and audio) through to the PC in a way that standard video capture or chat applications can use?

I seem to remember it was frequency hopping, ad-hoc system and as a result, I would have thought it would not be suitable for streaming data/constant feed
It is more suited to ocassional transmissions such as key presses, mouse movements.
I could be wrong, its just a guess.
