    The Bluetooth address is a standard IEEE MAC address so the first three bytes are assigned to a particular company (initial public list at downloadable at http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml).  People in the past have done work to make lists of those and identify devices, or families of devices anyway.

    Of course you could download all the SDP records and see if there are patterns you can recognise from different devices.

     Thanks for your reply.

    I know we can get manufecturer's name from  first three bytes of bluetooth address but I want to know the concept by which I can get the 'model' of Bluetooth device such as Nokia 6600 or any other.
