I've been playing with this recently. Acquired a Class2 bluetooth
dongle from ebay for 7p, plugged it into gentoo laptop, installed
coldplug, bluez-utils + kernel modules, started /etc/init.d/bluetooth
and it worked.
easy as that :-)

kmobiletools works well with my phone (sony ericsson t610) where
wammu/gammu dont hold up so well.

Hope this helps.
