Re: Bluetooth on 3G iphone.

Bit of a pig I know...

Both the iPhone and iPhone 3G can only be used with handsfree headsets for using the phone handsfree.

It cannot send recieve files or do any other clever Bluetooth stuff.

So unless you are trying to discover a handsfree device, it won't find anything

As Merkee has said the only thing your iphone will find or which will find your iphone is a bluetooth headset or speaker.

Re: Bluetooth on 3G iphone.

I can see my iphone 3g via BT from my N70 and N95 but what's the point since it can't be connected?

Re: Bluetooth on 3G iphone.

I'll rephrase it by saying the only thing you can connect to is a headset or speaker.
