Bluejacking is when you use your phone's (or other device) bluetooth transciever to send another bluetooth enabled device a contact\business card\picture\etc. This is amusing because you can write some witty comment in the business card\contact\note that the person being bluejacked will be mystified by, such as 'look behind you', etc.
Its fun, its clean and best of all its free!

Being Bluejacked by an "Undetectable / Undiscoverable" phone is just like getting shot at by a sniper... although within 10 m, your culprit could be anyone holding an SE phone that has got BT.
Being Bluejacked by a "Detectable / Discoverable" phone is just like being shot by someone near you... the victim can only be sure that it is that phone that "shot" them if that is the only phone around.
However, I don't think there is anyway that you can tell whether the bluejacker is using a discoverable or undiscoverable phone.... so what i have just stated above... i realise... it is nonsense.

Well you can just scan the vicinity for devices and take your pick. If someone does bluejack you then the chances are tthat they will be within 10m unless they have long range bluetooth of course.
Since it is only 10m you can see what devices are near you and have a quick look around with your eyes to see who is most likely to be the culprit. Of course this assumes that you want to be picky and place a precision strike against the most likely culprit. If, however, you decide that the best way to defend yourself is to use a nuke, then just bluejack everything within range. SMan works great in such situations.
I was in the city centre last week and decided to do a scan. I found three Nokias and a PDA. Glancing around I caught site of two young lads sitting on some steps eating their lunch, I was sitting in a cafe just across from them, having just finished my own lunch and by then enjoying a very nice lunchtime cigar.
Deciding that I would rather enjoy my cigar than bluejack I went to put my phone away. Suddenly I hear a snippet of conversation come from the two lads, I put it down to a sixth sense I have developed wherever my beloved P900 is concerned, the world 'bluejack' was mentioned. Suddenly I could see the boy glancing over at another two boys walking towards them, both of whom, were holding bluetooth enabled Nokias in their grimy little paws. Seeing that they were calling in reinforcements for a massive bluetooth strike I decided that it was time for action. Maybe it was the cigar or maybe it was the Chateneuf du Pape, but suddenly I felt like Churchill preparing to go into battle against the Bosch.
I pulled Plucky from my jacket pocket opened her up. I could see blue flashing lights on one the lad's phones, he had just enabled bluetooth! Quickly initiating SMan I decided that only a devestating strike against them would be sufficient to ensure that liberty, freedom and the rights of adults prevailed here. SMan calmly initiated a scan, searching for its targets amongst the youthful swine daring to attack my beloved Plucky.
A wicked smile crept onto my face as I saw the results of my decision. I had pushed the button and unleashed Armageddon!!! The lads started glancing around as their phones beeped and vibrated. Their faces were pricless as they realised that their meagre arsenal was no match for my far more awesome deterrent. I had sent them a message 'Don't even try sonny'. I smiled as they glanced about, finally it dawned upon them that it was me.
Motioning to the waiter I ordered another glass of wine and got my cigar relit, so as to toast my victory. Pulling my Mont Blanc from my pocket I waite din anticipation for what remained of their pathetic force to come over and sign their surrender.
ALL HAIL PLUCKY 900!

I'm evidently still missing something here.
You can only get Bluejacked if your phone is either:
a) discoverable (i.e. visible to other devices), or
b) paired with the device being used to Bluejack you.
Is this not correct? So, if you keep your phone non-discoverable, you don't have to worry. You certainly don't need to be discoverable just to use a headset, since you would typically pair your headset with your phone.
Or am I missing something?
- Never been jacked...

Bluejacking is marvellous fun. I do agree with Vermania, its no reason not to buy a phone just because there is the posisbility of being bluejacked, I mean its hardly death by a thousand cuts!
If you really feel that strongly about it you can always fight back of course!
