The World of a Penguin

I bougt a new mobile phone yesterday, a Nokia 5300. Now I tried to connect the phone using bluetooth from my Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). It worked right out of the box. I made my phone visible. Right clicked the bluetooth icon on my Ubuntu desktop and selected browse device. The phone appears in the list, select it. Then the phone asks if you want to connect to the computer and for a pin code. Give any 4 digit number. After that the computer asks for the same pin code. Then you can browse your phone using Nautilus.

I played with bluetooth on my MSI S271 yesterday. Ubuntu Feisty does not identify the built in bluetooth device out of the box, but it identified my old MSI bluetooth USB-stick. Bluetooth seems to work but I have to investigate some to see if I can get the internal to work.
