Good so far, now make your cell phone discoverable. That's in bluetooth
settings somewhere then try that again. If that fails, see if you can
make your computer discoverable and try taking the computer over with
the cell phone. Some of these pieces of equipment really don't work.

I have never used bluetooth before and never had a bluetooth enabled phone, so
please bear with me.
I have just upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze.
I have a bluetooth USB dongle on my box.
I have an LG420 through Tracphone.
I have installed Bluez.
I have turned bluetooth on at the phone and tried to search for other
bluetooth devices (my desktop box). It does not fins any devices.
Following some documentation that I found elsewhere, I tried:

Can't connect: Permission denied
So, the desktop seems to find the phone, but can not make a connection to it.
Is there something that I still need to do on the phone so that I can connect
to it from the desktop? What about connection the other way?
All that I need to do at this time is to be able to transfer files between the
desktop and the phone, primarily photos and .mp3 files.
I don't know what to do next.
All help appreciated.
