    The software is not deigned to do that, even thought the hardware might be able to.

    Depend on bluetooth profile/service that your cell phone can provide to other device(s). Your cell phone might connect to any bluetooth headset using headset or handsfree profile that the headset offers, but the cellphone itself might not able to offer such service for others.
