GUstANni is just taking about connecting his iPhone with BT, he said nothing about sync with BT.

I'm supposing he's trying to pair his iPhone to use the BT tethering feature.

I have exactly the same problem when pairing my iPhone 3GS to my Windows 7 notebook. Seems there's a missing driver and I can connect via BT to use the tethering feature.

The iPhone does not support anything higher than A2DP headset protocol (cellular to headset). It does not support BT<->PC protocol or BT<->Car/GPS Device Bluetooth Protocols.

Some phones do have this protocol from more popular brands like Sony Erricson or Motorola cellulars. You can use TomTom's "What phones can be supported with my GPS device?" section that has a list of phones that can do traffic report data streaming and phone contact lookup with voice control.
