Yes, it seems you used the correct instructions. You might want to remove
the bonding before trying again, for that supply an additional dummy
parameter to simple-agent.

Hm, that is strange. You need to try to remove the bonding and to try
again. Probably you hit some timeout or something else went wrong.

It'd be interesting to try it with some laptop (running bluez4, of
course).

Hm, it should be, probably in some additional bluez package (but do
not install bluez3!)
