Yes, send and receive files by bluetooth, under CentOS 5.5 with a SE
T630 phone and the following setup:
# rpm -qa | grep blue
bluez-gnome-0.8-2.fc7
python-bluez-0.15-1.el5.rf
bluez-libs-3.9-1.fc7
bluez-utils-3.9-2.fc7
bluez-libs-devel-3.9-1.fc7
gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-10.2.el5
gnome-bluetooth-devel-0.7.0-10.2.el5
bluez-hcidump-1.32-1
gnome-bluetooth-libs-0.7.0-10.2.el5

The following programs start at user-login:
gnome-obex-server
bluetooth-applet

It works for me since replacing some of the original CentOS packages
with packages from Fedora Core 7 (fc7).

You know, now that you mention it, I remember that I had to upgrade to a
Fedora package even to get the discovery stuff and/or connection *from*
the computer to work (this is something I set up a year or so ago.) I
installed only bluez-gnome earlier, though, but now I've upgraded the
other packages, too, so I have the same versions as you. Unfortunately,
there is still no luck sending from the phone - the behaviour is still
the same.

Another clue, though: If do the Bluetooth setup in a slightly different
way on the phone, I get the following messages:

Getting service list...
Service not found

I suppose this may be the root of the problem, i.e. that the phone
expects the computer to publish a list of services, and the GNOME
bluetooth stuff doesn't.

Is your bluetooth usb-stick(?) working? For example my bluetooth
usb-stick doesn't work with all USB-HUBs and does only work with USB
1.1. It's a little bit tricky.

Well, as I was trying to say, I can transfer in both directions as long
as I initiate from the computer. I'm assuming this implies everything is
just fine with the bluetooth unit itself.

It's built-in Bluetooth, by the way.
