On FC6, I had to edit hcid.conf as per my requirements (it might work without editing) and run bluez-pin manually for the first time. I downloaded kdebluetooth but it didnt work. But recently I upgraded kdelibs and kdenetwork packages and then I noticed that it automatically asked for pin. But I didnt try kdebluetooth after that, I believe it might be working now. For file transfer I use obexftp command line client (phone should support obex protocol) and for contacts backup I use gnokii (had to compile latest one). My mobile is Nokia N70. Btw how much speed are you getting with file transfer over bluetooth for me 1MB takes abt 45-50 seconds. But over USB cable it takes 2-3 seconds only. My motherboard supports USB1 only, so I got PCI2USB card with 5 USB2 ports, but speed over bluetooth still is the same. I suppose thats because mobile does not support faster speeds or do I have to specify parameters to kernel module to support faster speed over PCI2USB card?
