How to setup bluetooth dongle in Ubuntu

This setup was seamless and I got my SE P990i phone talking to my laptop in minutes. Here's what I had to do

• sudo apt-get install bluetooth gnome-bluetooth
• sudo apt-get install bluez-gnome bluez-utils
• Plugin my bluetooth USB dongle and I see it recognizes the device and starts up bluetooth-applet in the system tray.
  
• Search for laptop from the phone using bluetooth.

To send a file from phone to laptop, startup bluetooth file sharing from Applications -> Accessories on ubuntu and then try sending a file. You should see a pop up dialog on your desktop asking you to either accept/reject the transfer.

To send a file from your laptop to your phone, right click the file and then select sendTo.
