Description James 2013-05-22 20:58:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
This seems to be a regression from the F16(?) era.

I have paired my Bluetooth phone with my notebook successfully using GNOME's Set Up a New Device. Under the GNOME Bluetooth menu entry for the device, there is only Send Files (which seems to work OK). No option to browse its files.

On the other hand, I can initiate file browsing with Blueman. It connects and the phone's contents show up in Nautilus, with successful subsequent transfers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.9.3-301.fc19.x86_64
gnome-bluetooth-3.8.0-1.fc19.x86_64
bluez-4.101-6.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

I was wondering this too.  This reference (and comments) suggest its not a high priority:

Closing this as it probably won't see any further action.
