Using a Bluetooth phone with Linux (ars technica)

ars technica has a tutorial on using a Bluetooth phone with Linux. "Once the pairing is complete, it becomes possible to access files on the phone directly through Nautilus, the GNOME file manager. You can open any Nautilus window and type obex:// into the path bar to get a list of paired phones. Double-click the phone you want to access, and you should see a regular directory listing. You can now transfer files between your computer and your phone simply by dragging and dropping files. With this method, I was able to access the sounds, pictures, and videos stored on my phone."
