Cell phone says "no devices found," but laptop finds it.

I have a non-Bluetooth enabled laptop, so I bought a "billionton" class
1 USB adapter for it. It comes with the Blue Soleil software, which
detected my Bluetooth cell phone (Motorola V551) without any problem.
But when I do a Bluetooth device search on the cell phone, it says "no
devices found."

I would like to be able to do two things (in order of priority):
1) Get my laptop connected to the Internet by using the phone as a
modem. Cingular tells me that I need to add a data plan (between $5
and $20 per month) for that, but is that really true?

2) Send data (such as photos or address book) from phone to laptop.

Thanks.
