Blue toothache
This post is a bit belated, but hey, it’s not like anyone but me is reading this, is it? 
Anyway, since my recently acquired gadget with telephonious capabilities has bluetooth support, I swiftly ran off to my local geekstore, Clas Ohlson, and picked up a Bluetooth dongle. I went with a
Billionton one, which happened to work very well, and it has a reasonable range (it says 10m, but it works nicely from one end of the house to the other, so I’m happy).
It turned out, though, that the hardware aspect was the least of my worries. I went on to try gnome-bluetooth, which didn’t seem to want to cooperate with my system at all, apparently being written for an earlier PyGTK version than what I have installed. I tried fixing the obvious API changes, but it still made GTK scream for mercy, so I gave up. (gnome-obex-send and gnome-obex-server worked well, though, so at least I can push files from either end to the other.)
Still wanting more I went on to try obexftp and obexfs, neither of which could do more than spot the address of my gadget. Bah. But finally, feeling adventurous, I installed some KDE bits and pieces, as well as kdebluetooth, which provides an OBEX method to konqueror. Lo and behold, it worked! Now I can browse all my phones public files by simply going to obex://[00:0f:de:a7:21:89]:7/. Nice and handy.
But to be honest, I can’t say I’m using the latter much. For daily things, like downloading the odd ring tone or theme, or uploading some pics and video snippets, gnome-obex-send and -server do their jobs very nicely, from the command line. Once a keyboarder, always a keyboarder, I guess.
