In 2nd edition devices you could use 'CBTMCMSettings' GetLocalBTName() to fetch the Host device bluetooth name and to set the device name you could use SetLocalBTName(). But for 3rd edition devices these libraries files are deprecated.

Hence forth one could use the following code.Eventhough the code is found in the sdk help it didnt work as expected.I was unable to Open RHostResolver in both N73 and also in 6681.Both failed with an error -5(The operation requested is not supported).

This code worked for me.

For 3rd edition phones check: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Bluetooth_Engine_API

// 1. Connect to the socket server

   RSocketServ socketServ;	
   User::LeaveIfError(socketServ.Connect());
   TProtocolDesc pInfo;

// 2.Use BTLinkManager as the Protocol instead of L2CAP as mentioned in the sdk

  _LIT(BTLinkManager, "BTLinkManager");	
  TInt FindRet = socketServ.FindProtocol(BTLinkManager(),pInfo);
  if(KErrNone==FindRet)
   {    
    RHostResolver hr;	
    TInt ret = hr.Open(socketServ,pInfo.iAddrFamily,pInfo.iProtocol);
    if(KErrNone==ret)
    {    
    THostName name;	  
    hr.GetHostName(name);       
   hr.Close();   	
    }
   }
 socketServ.Close();

One could also use SetHostName() to set the local bluetooth address.
