try this in terminal..
"hcitool scan"
 it will show something like
"scanning....
    00:21:09:CF:08:7B jorr"
00:21:09:CF:08:7B is the bluetooth address, note that down.
Now type..
"rfcomm connect ttys0 <btaddr>"
without the inverted commas, where <btaddr> is your ph bluetooth address.

Can you help with this problem?
