Just tried sending some pics to my laptop from the phone and couldn't get the connection to work. Will investigate and post the results as soon as possible. *EDIT: I can now send/receive pictures/video from my phone but I can't browse files on the phone. To get it working, I installed gnome-user-share, then open System -> Preferences -> Personal File Sharing and set the option to receive files over bluetooth. This information was found here . The browsing thing seems to have something to do with lack of support of OBEX, either by jaunty or the phone. Enabling obexftp should solve it, but I've installed the following without any improvement: obextool obexfs obexpushd obexftp gnome-vfs-obexftp Will keep searching...
