Parrot Minikit, Object Push Profile, and the iPhone 3G - does this work?

I've just discovered that the 'compatibility' of my new Parrot Minikit with my iPhone 3G does not extend to 'sending' my contacts to the Minikit or to setting up voice dialling. Apparently the phone needs to support Bluetooth Object Push Profile (OPP).

I did find this on the Apple original iPhone support forums and wondered if anyone here has successfully used this method with the iPhone 3G.

' .... I was told by parrot that if you have a second phone handy ( one that has OPP) go into the menu of the parrot while connected to the iphone then when you select add voicetags use the other phone to push the #. The trick is it thinks the iphone pushed it because it always disconnects from iphone before taking in the # from the bluetooth device. I was told you must be connected with the iphone first so it will remember the profile for the iphone.....'

I can obtain access to another phone that has OPP (it's an O2 XDA IIs), so would like to give it a try.

Thanks.

Thanks Woggledog.

I'm afraid I'm new to all this OPP and iPhone/Parrot stuff. The Parrot will handle voice dialling using voice tags and the contacts from the phone's address book. The problem as I understand it is that those contacts have to be 'sent' to the Parrot first and the voice tags added. For that it appears the iPhone would need to support the Bluetooth Object Push Profile - and it doesn't. Without this option on the phone the Parrot Minikit is no better than a bluetooth earpiece.
