Bluetooth advice please

If God had meant us to rely on technology named after 10th Century Danish Kings, he wouldn't have given us RS-232 cables!

OK, that said, I'd appreciate some help. My limited understanding is that bluetooth-enabled devices would at least recognise that each other exist.

I have a bluetooth-enabled Nokia phone and a Nokia bluetooth earpiece. They talk to each other and the earpiece is recognised as a paired device. But I hate the earpiece and went looking for a better headset. I bought this one:-

Here are the specs and instructions:-

Yes, cheap, but it is the only version of this style that I could find.

Instructions are fairly sparse. I charged it up. Then I pressed the side button and, after a few seconds, the LED started blinking blue. Looks good. Then I ask my mobile to search for bluetooth devices - nothing found.

Now this headphone seems to be designed specifically for the Playstation, but I would have thought that it would just been seen as a bluetooth device by the phone.

I don't have any other bluetooth devices at home to test it with.

I'd be pleased to hear your thoughts on what is going wrong here.
