Connecting phones via bluetooth

[Chris-394]

I have two cell phones that I'm trying to connect via bluetooth. One is
a Motorola EM330, the other is a Nokia 2600. I'm using an IOGear
Bluetooth 2.1 USB Micro Adapter. I have installed what I believe are all
the necessary files. If I run 'Bluetooth' from the Gnome applications
menu both phones show up, one as a Nokia 2600c-2b and the other as a
Motorola Phone. However after that nothing seems to happen. On the
Motorola under Device Details it shows

Name localhost-0
Type Computer
Access Automatic

The Nokia shows

Paired devices - localhost-0


I see no icon on the desktop for either phone. The Motorola connects
with a mini-USB with no problems but the Nokia has no such feature thus
the reason I'm wanting to get the bluetooth setup going.

Any advice/help would be appreciated

An additional note, this is on a Mandriva 2009.1 box. Using Nautilus I
can send from the computer to each phone however can't send from the
phones to the computer. Using the Motorola and trying to send an image I
select 'send to bluetooth' then a screen with 'object exchange' comes up
and 'look for device'. Selecting 'look for device' shows 'no devices
found'
