My understanding of your question is that you want a bluetooth enabled
device look up as a phone when it is searched by other bluetooth
enabled device. If this is what you want to perform then i guess you
can do it by editing the file  /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf   to set the
device class. "man hcid" should tell you what bits need to be set.


Hope that helps
