Unable to connect to PC via Bluetooth

I read several threads, but couldn't find an appropriate answer. I am doing the following to try to connect iPhone 4 to my laptop:

1. On iPhone: turn BT on.
2. On PC: Add new BT device. The laptop finds the iPhone.
3. To pair the devices, I am asked to confirm a security code on both laptop and iPhone. Once confirmed on both devices, a message displays saying that they're paired.
4. On the iPhone, however, the little status indicator just keeps spinning; on the laptop, I get a message saying that it could not connect to the remote device.

Is the iPhone only capable of connecting to a BT headset? Is it supposed to be able to connect to a PC????

iPhone 4, iOS 4

" Is it supposed to be able to connect to a PC????"

No.

It can only connect to a computer for tethering ( where allowed).

Fiel transfer via bluetooth is NOT supported.

You can connect to telephone headsets/handsfree devices, stereo headphones/speakers, a computer for tethering purposes and some peer-to-peer apps from the app store.
