Only thing I can think of, in your Nokia under BT settings, is the phone "hidden" or accessable from all?

My apologies, didn't read that as equiv. How about the other way around? Can you pair with your machine from your phone? Test with another phone? BTW, do your system logs say anything? Here's a thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=283029 that says you need to set a SELinux boolean to make it work. Your logs should show if that's the case.
