You can't see inquiry scans with hcidump. Afaik there is no way to find out if 
your bluetooth adapter responded to an inquiry from another device.
The nokia probably looks a the device class - which is returned as part of an 
inquiry result - of the bluetooth device to find out if it is a 
headset/handsfree or not, so it can single out the headsets
without having to use SDP (which is visible in hcidump).
If you set the device class of your computer to 0x700408 for instance, the 
phone should recognize your computer as a handsfree. Problem is that most 
devices will place a headset icon next to your computers name in the device 
list now ;)
