Default Fujitsu Lifebook unable to communicate via bluetooth

Hi there - My laptop can find my iphone but connection fails as ipone does not see the laptop. I know the bluetooth is working because the iphone connects via bluetooth with my car GPS. Do I have to delete the GPS before it will see the laptop? The phone says it is discoverable and I can see it searching.

Does anyone have any ideas?

The iPhone only has 2 Bluetooth profiles - headset and handset. The headset profile lets it work with your typical Bluetooth headset (though not stereo ones) and the handset profile lets it work with hands-free devices like GPS units and car Bluetooth systems. Other than that, it can't do anything else via Bluetooth, and it may not pair at all with your laptop.

I'm sure a lot of folks have let their feelings be known on this issue to Apple.
