trying to use bluetooth, but my 3gs just can't detect? any tips?

You have to turn it on first

Right now you can only use Bluetooth with a headset, in case you were trying to pair it with another device.

Not near enough information.

 

[thesixsence]

Bluetooth has lots of uses. Which of many things are you trying to do?

Why is this?

Because that's the only functionality that Apple has built into their Bluetooth, although I understand the upcoming 3.1 update will include file transfer. (Yay!) It would be nice to be able to use BT to exchange photos with other devices.

Really? Where did you see that? That function would be a godsend!

It was in one of the overviews of the last beta build...could even have been on the front page of TiPb.

Odd, I'm using my iPhone 3GS paired with a Motorola BlueTooth FM Transmitter in my car as of the last two weeks, so it does work with non-headset devices.

Let me refine my original statement then. As of right now, the iPhone will not work with non audio Bluetooth devices. IOW, no BT keyboard, no sending pictures to your friend with a Blackberry.

Said another way, your car looks to the iPhone like a BT head-set.

Ah, I understand what you were saying now. My apologies.

If trying to pair another device, not successful.

Headset..yes!
