Yes, send and receive files by bluetooth, under CentOS 5.5 with a SE
T630 phone and the following setup:
# rpm -qa | grep blue
bluez-gnome-0.8-2.fc7
python-bluez-0.15-1.el5.rf
bluez-libs-3.9-1.fc7
bluez-utils-3.9-2.fc7
bluez-libs-devel-3.9-1.fc7
gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-10.2.el5
gnome-bluetooth-devel-0.7.0-10.2.el5
bluez-hcidump-1.32-1
gnome-bluetooth-libs-0.7.0-10.2.el5

The following programs start at user-login:
gnome-obex-server
bluetooth-applet

It works for me since replacing some of the original CentOS packages
with packages from Fedora Core 7 (fc7).
