Hi, I have a 2 years old Samsung Omnia (I think it is also referred to as an i9000) and a PC running F14. I would like to connect the phone to the PC via bluetooth to upload some pics.

Any ideas of a tool I can download to connect the 2?

Do you have bluez installed?

Hi, sorry for the delay - been on holiday. I have installed now bluez but from research this is just a set of libraries is that right? I now have to install an interface to hook up the phone? Or should the PC just detect the phone?

I'm not too familiar with Fedora, but on most desktops, you should have a bluetooth icon in your system tray if you have a bluetooth device connected. If it doesn't show up, try launching bluetooth-applet from the command line. That should put the icon in your system tray.

Once the icon shows up, click on it and you will get a menu with various option, one of which is 'set up new device'.

You will probably want to make sure that bluetooth-applet is set as one of your start-up applications so that you don't need to launch it manually each time.

Try that and let's see how far we get.

Oh No, after further investigation the PC doesn't have bluetooth

I won't even bother trying to make excuses. I'll just go and sit in the corner and hope noone notices me
