Both my partners at work have recently gotten iPhones.

I have been setting them up with our google calendar and contacts etc.

As I was working on porting contacts from the old phones to the iPhones. It became clear that the iPhone is unable to connect to another phone via bluetooth. A little reading indicates this is true for any bluetooth device with a file transfer option,

Seems like a hell of a limitation to place on the phone?

Anyway fixed with ease, I just connected their old (dumb) phones to my N900 pulled all the contacts into a vcf file onto my device then imported them into google contacts to sync with the iPhone.

But crippling bluetooth in this way seems a little OTT to me?
