Why can't I pair my Nokia N95 with my bluetooth headset?

Question

I have just purchased a bluetooth headset to go with my Nokia N95, however I am unable to get them to pair. I'm following the instructions ie tools-bluetooth-new paired device. It searches but won't show any devices even though the headset is turned on. I tried connecting a friend's headset too which was a different make but had the same problem. Any ideas?

Answer 1

N series tend to be slow.

Is it on on the phone? silly little things like that casue massive irritation.

Answer 2

Answer 3
