The latest I have tried is to uninstall "gnome-bluetooth" and install "bluez-gnome". This allowed me to actually connect to the serial port with the '1234' code. It now shows up in BT manager with a totally different dialog graphics and commands, but it seems to be more robust at least for this pair. I still struggle with my iPhone bt pairing regardless of which interface I use (bluez-gnome or gnome-bluetooth). It connects sometimes, but rarely. The Nokia uses OBEX to allow me to see files and is very robust. It appears that this is still not correct as the title says.
