File transfer. File transfer to and from a handheld device is enabled by virtue of ObexFTP, an application and library with many language bindings to access mobile phone and other handheld content.
Host to handheld device:
--Make the handheld discoverable, if necessary
--On the host computer, right-click the BT icon in the System Tray > Manage devices. Add your device if it is not already there, and click the Trust button below
--Right-click the BT icon again > Receive files configuration. Make sure the Enable box is checked, and decide where you want the files to go (e.g., ~/Downloads)
--Right-click the BT icon one last time > Send File. Navigate to the file you want to send and click Next. On the device screen, make sure the device you want to send to is present, and rescan if necessary. Highlight the device and click Next.
--On the device, accept the transfer of the file.
Handheld to host:
--Check that the host is visible to the handheld.
--Navigate to the file you want to send, and use the method appropriate for the particular device to send it.
--When the transfer notification pops up on the host, click Accept

I can send from the computer to my blackberry, but not from the blackberry to the computer. I've been able to do it in the past with Mepis 8 and the same phone, so it's not the phone. Blue Devil crashed on me also. I restarted it, and the BlackBerry says it can't find anything, even though they did pair successfully, and each has been told to trust the other.
