S500i, Bluetooth, Ubuntu 7.10, X60 - successI didn't get this to work at first; but somewhere in the Ubuntu forums (I forgot where), someone said: "install gnome-vfs-obexftp". Which I did. Now I can access all the good stuff on my phone in Nautilus (right-click the Bluetooth icon in the panel, then click "Browse Device").
Also, sudo hidd --connect (with the MAC address of the phone - hcitool scan) lets me use the phone as a remote control (i.e. wireless mouse etc.) for my computer. (See the useful entry, "BluetoothRemoteControl", in the Community Ubuntu Documentation.) This probably works for other Sony Ericsson phones too.
sudo su
echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
hcitool scan
sudo hidd --connect [MAC address]
