I was wondering why gnome-bluetooth is not in Debian (at least not in testing). This repository has it though, and it's working great! (Except that, just like in your case, gnome-obex-send won't list my phone (SE K700i) and the hciconfig trick doesn't work for me either (macbook C2D). Your script works fine though, and is probably good enough for the couple of times I need it.) Don't have the obex:// thingy working though... (nothing seems to happen; I just get an empty nautilus window). Great post! I was wondering why gnome-bluetooth is not in Debian (at least not in testing).

Gnome-vfs-obexftp depends on some of the D-Bus interfaces that are only provided with that flag. Also, if you have hcid running with the "user" security mode (the default under Ubuntu at least), it is a good idea to make sure bt-applet is running (packaged as bluez-passkey-gnome on Ubuntu) so that PIN requests work. barisone: check to see if hcid is running with the “-x” option.

Device listing doesn't work and using the address (something like obex://[xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx]) gives an error both on the phone and on the computer. @Eugenia:

Once the phone is paired with your computer, you can browse its filesystem and copy files to/from it in Nautilus. It can be a lot easier than basic obex send/receive if you want to work with multiple files (e.g. download multiple photos off the phone). It is packaged as "gnome-vfs-obexftp" in Ubuntu and Debian.

I was not very lucky with BT under Linux either btw... Try nautilus-sendto 0.10 which has bluetooth obex support and fixes.
