My iphone will not detect other bluetooth devices or allow any others to send to it
This is not strictly true - my iPhone connects wonderfully to my Plantronics Voyager 520 headset. It will not connect to other phones, headphones, etc. via bluetooth. It is intentionally crippled and will only connect to a headset via bluetooth.
My guess is that Apple sells songs and doesn't want you trading them around to your friends via bluetooth. Whatever the reason, it's quite annoying.

Yeah i read somewhere i think it was on apple's forum that the iphone is only capable of detecting apple products' bluetooth...What a pain!
Hopefully they will uprgrade this..and stop the ringtones issue

You can only use iPhone bluetooth to connect to a headphone but not for any thing else. You can't transfer pictures and files from or to the iPhone using bluetooth. this is very stupid, the interface is there, yet you can't use it properly, i think i am selling my iPhone.

SOURCE: bluetooth problems iphone
bluetooth on iphone is crippled somewhat.. you cannot for example connect to another phone or a computer like you can with other bluetooth enabled phones.. The bluetooth on iphone can only be used to connect to headset/sat-nav hands free kits etc at the moment.. maybe in a future upgrade they will relax this.

-- it's not you or (just) your phone .. when it comes to Bluetooth compatibility .. they cannot recognize any device and cannot be used to receive or send any files .. overall, the BT on the iPhone seems to carry little functionality outside use of accessories like the Apple Bluetooth headset. -- Apple’s Bluetooth File Exchange for Mac OS X cannot send files to the iPhone stating “Device does not have the necessary services.-- iSync for Mac OS X cannot be used to synchronize with the iPhone via Bluetooth, delivering the message “iSync can not connect to this device.
BT on iPhone keeps searching for devices, not finding computers or other phones. Seems not to be working at all. Bluetooth on iPhone has problems connecting to anything. Didn't try with other Apple devices.
I cannot transfer any of my phone numbers stored on my iPhone 3G to the incar telephone (Mercedes S class 2003) via ViseeO MB1000 and bluetooth.
Basically if the iPhone wont work in the car then it can go on the scrap heap.
Cannot use iPhone hands free in car despite ViseeO device costing £ 299!  Don't buy either!
It just do not detect any other bluetooth devices. I turned on and off the services several time but still not succeeded.
i phone not compatible with honda car kit

My iphone will not "discover" my bluetooth speakerphone Jabra sp5050
It is supposed to be compatible and many people have posted that theirs works just fine
I don't know how to set it manually, but the automatic discovery doesn't work even when the two of them are side by side.
The Iphone sucks. Dont waste your time trying to pair another make of phone as it just doesn't work. The least the manaufacurer could have said that its' not compatible with other devices, but instead they advertise new level bluetooth technology n.m. ver40edr , BTW its maybe to prolong battery life as Apple knows their batteries dont hold charge for more than 3 hours.
