I've finally managed to get the phone to work with some of the openobex
examples, but using the Affix stacj instead.

I use Redhat 9 at the moment, but I havn't had time to play with it much
yet, but it looks like it loads the Bluez stack, but doesn't come
shipped with any of the tools needed to access it :-(

I tried compiling, but that just borked too, and I havn't had time to
see what's missing yet.

Lucky git :-)
