so i have to download and upgrade these packages and after that download CVS of kde-bluetooth and to install it! right??

and i don't have to make changes in dbus, bluez-libs and bluez-utils that i built and installed,leave it as it is, and not to reinstall them??

Ok, I have it running now. Give it a try and let me know if it works for your phone, and any error messages you might get. Please be thorough and specific. Also, make sure you reread the entire portion of the guide that relates to kdebluetooth (it's changed a bit).

ok, i didn't see the link to guide...

i'll need some time to give it a try, so when i'll get enough free time i'll try it...

i wonder, if there was no such HOWTo (i was looking for it for a long time) till now, does it mean that no one didn't try to do it in slackware?because as i can see it's a little complicated for some one new to linux to understand which libraries and packages to install???

That's a very good question, and unfortunately, I don't really know the answer. I had a hard time finding information myself and had to just figure a lot of it out on my own. The good news is, now there is one such HOWTO. I'm sure it needs to be polished a little bit, so let me know how it works out.

I have made a small change in the guide. Please see the updated section in modifiying the bluez-util build. You will need to modify your /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf a little to work better with kdebluetooth.
