The connection gets created when you pair the phone with the laptop, via the GNOME bluetooth applet. It looks somewhat like this: http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2009/07/10/unwire-with-networkmanager/ When you finish pairing the phone, you'll get a checkbox that has options for using the phone either as a PAN device, or a DUN device, depending on what your phone supports. For PAN, all that's required is checking the box. For DUN, ModemManager gets started to inspect the phone, and then the Mobile Broadband Wizard appears to let you configure the APN and other details. After that, the phone should appear in the nm-applet menu. Can you try the GNOME Bluetooth applet process and see if that makes things work?
