How do I transfer a phonebook from the iPhone to another device?

I have a new Panasonic phone system at home that provides a bluetooth link. It allows for the transfer of phonebooks from a linked cell phone selectively if the phone supports PBAP (phone book access profile). The phone system instructions refer the user to the cellphone instructions as to how to copy the phonebook. (The system does not have the capacity to store all of the entries in my iPhone phonebook, so I need to be able to transfer them by Group or otherwise selectively.) Does the iPhone support PBAP? If so, how do you select and copy Groups or individual entries?

iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3

This worked for me. Created three groups, Doctors, Friends, Family. Transfered each group separately.

Thanks!!

DLMartin's solution totally worked for me on my Panasonic KX-TGE270! For the last two days I've been trying everything not to let the phone import 1,000 phone numbers from my iPhone. Thanks!!

Does this only work with the Panasonic base unit?
