So I took a look in Synaptic, I&#8217;m running Feisty so maybe it&#8217;s easier these days. I installed bluez-gnome and gnome-bluetooth and was able to use my phone to set up a connection to my bluetooth module, enter a pin on my phone, was prompted by my laptop to insert the pin into the dialog box and bingo. I was able to send files to my phone using Nautilus&#8217; Send-to dialog and send files to my notebook after starting the bluetooth daemon and opening Gnome-Bluetooth.<\/p>\n<p>So, success, but it could be easier I guess but it&#8217;s not as hard as I remember. All I have to do now is work out how to use my phone as a modem and perhaps browse my phone over bluetooth.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and work out how to get my internal modem to work, but that&#8217;s a job for another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, so after my rant the other day about making Bluetooth easy in Gnome, I decided to take a look at the situation for the first time in a while.
