Please be noted that the bluetooth on the Lumia has two uses:
1- Pair between the Lumia and accessories (headsets)
2- Pair between Lumia and other Phones through contact transfer.
you need to make sure that the device that has the contacts supports Bluetooth and a profile called PBAP (PhoneBookAccesProfile)
For Nokia devices this is supported on Symbian starting with S60 3.2
www.developer.nokia.com/search/search.xhtml and S40 5th edition (please check on developer forum for a complete list).
Windows Phone 7 supported as well.
Meego with N9 is also supported (N900 is NOT supported)
Devices previous to that are not supported (S60 3.0;3.1);S80 etc.
If you have a device from another manufacturer we only have limited info: Apple I-Phone, I-Pad are supported, Blackberry launched in the past 2 years Android supports it as well. If the you get the error message Pairing device. Unable to complete the connection to the phone, or the connected phone is not supported. Please try connecting again, or choose a different phone it is either a device that is not supported or the Contacts Transfer application is out of date.
So the only option to connect the two phones is to transfer the contacts and through the contact transfer option only.
