I think you're about this lib - http://www.gnokii.org
They have few frontends listed there too, one of them is called gnocky which is available through AUR

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

got it thanks. now if only this app was able to copy my adress book from my sim like phonetooth does. instead it needs evolution (60 meg!) just so i can put 10 or so contacts in the adress book

i used gnocky to do that. is a front end to gnokii. is quite simple to use. you need to config /etc/gnokiirc. tell to use bluetooth, rfcom_channel.
