Bluetooth not working after iPhone 1.1.4? Simple fix
While iPhone software/firmware update 1.1.4 fixed some serious Bluetooth issues introduced with version 1.1.3 -- including incompatibility with GPS units from Garmin (StreetPilot C550, Nuvi 360, 760, etc.), some integrated car Bluetooth systems and more -- it also introduced the inability to use Bluetooth at all for some users.
Fortunately, all the users we've spoken with who have encountered this problem had success with a fix we've mentioned before: Toggling Airplane Mode on and off. To do this, turn Bluetooth off, then navigate to Settings, then slide Airplane Mode to On, wait a few seconds, then slide it back to Off. It seems that discontinuing and restarting the EDGE and WiFi components in the iPhone can restore connectivity.

Never had this problem with my other BT phones.

- It didn't work at first but, since i had no other options, i kept trying. Fast toggling didn't work so i slowed it down. Wifi active, Carrier T-Mobile, Fetch New Data - off --- Not that it had anything to do with anything--- But it finally paired up. Great Tip!!!

- But before you spend too much time toggling the airplane mode on and off, check with the bluetooth manufacturers site for pairing instructions. My problem was with a Jabra BT8040 and when I checked http://jabra.pairx.co.uk I found a set of steps that results in a iPhone-BT8040 pairing every time.
