I have windows on my business laptop (HP Mini 5101) and tested it
there under windows and iPhone sees it immediately, reboot to Fedora
12 and iPhone doesn't see it :( I checked that laptop has enabled
discovery under bluetooth settings.

Tried downgrading gnome-bluetooth* packages and rebooting still same issue :(

What packages can I try do downgrade also? I saw reports that some
users have issue with bluetooth pairing and tethering with jailbroken
iPhones... but why does it work with Windows?!?

Maybe to downgrade NetworkManager packages?
