    sudo hciconfig hci0 piscan

Should work.

Did you resolve your earlier problem with timeouts?

In a terminal:
    hcitool scan
should print out the BD_ADDR of the phone
    bluez-simple-agent hci0 BD_ADDR
should pair.
What happens?

The typical way to debug bluetooth issues is:
1. add debug flag "-d" to bluetoothd command line and then
review system
log
2. run hcidump while performing operation that's not
working
    sudo hcidump -tVX > filename
   -or-
    sudo hcidump -t --save-dump=filename
    hcidump -tVXr filename
Post the dump and let someone look at it.

Does anyone know what the class codes are? 

Class_of_device is defined here:

Should I change the class code 
in the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf configuration file?

No.
