A phone that uses a direct mini usb cable may be more better in detection than one with the flat connector-usb adapter. At a client's place, Kububtu 7.04 directly detected a Sony Erricson W810 phone and its contents. It showed up as 2 usb drives ( internal and external memory ) on the desktop.

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?
