Gentoo / AMD64 / Bluetooth
After a bit of fiddling with masked ebuilds, I finally managed to get Bluetooth working with Gnome on my AMD64-based Gentoo system. In case you’re running into similar AMD64-related issues, please check out the following bugs I submitted to the Gentoo bug tracker:
(Hey, I got three sequential bug numbers) 
The following bug is also relevant:
The HOWTO mobile phone, Bluetooth and GNOME Wiki page is also helpful. Note however that this is somewhat outdated. For example, the bluez-sdp package is deprecated and should no longer be used, as its functionality has been rolled into the other bluez packages.
After setting everything up, I was able to connect to my new Motorola V551 phone and transfer several files and J2ME applications from Gnome / Nautilus.
Leave a comment if you need further help.

Have a Moto V551 also, like to know howto download J2ME files. There are 3 folders on the V551, which folder should J2ME files be loaded into and how to launch the J2ME app?
Thanks in advance

I am actually not even browsing the folders on my V551. I simply navigate to the JAR file in Gnome / Nautilus, right-click it, and choose “Send via Bluetooth”. My V551 then pops up a dialog asking me whether I want to accept the download. Give this a shot, I have installed several apps this way.
