I cant get my Nokia 6120 to see PC via bluetooth. I have installed both gnome-bluetooth and kdebluetooth. At first, PC couldn't find the phone, but after:
hcitool hci0 up
hcitool scan
everything turned up to be fine. So, here are my questions:
1) how to make the phone see my pc?
2) how to send files from PC to phone (i guess this is confusing, but in Ubuntu, i would use "nautilus > right click > send to > bluetooth device")
3) is there a way to solve these problems without any Qt based clients?

I have set up bluetooth on my little media server so that I can use my SE phone to remotecontrol it. I'm using fluxbox so no gui clients are needed for this at all.
1) Make sure you have started the hidd. If it's not started, do it by issueing "hidd --server" on you pc.
2) To send files to my pc I'm using obexftp. Make obexftp listen for incoming files by starting it with: "obexftpd -b -v". This will save any incoming files to the directoy in wich you started it. A simple script could look like this:
#! /bin/bash
cd /home/ftp/upload
obexftpd -b -v
3) yes

1) You'll have to make your computer discoverable. Edit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf and add:
discovto 0;
To the options section
2) That depends... I have no problems within kde, there's a direct option Under gnome, you may have to install gnome-bluetooth
3) In fact, usually qt based apps haven't worked perfectly to me in the past. Now gtk and qt bluetooth apps are at the same level IMHO
