Unfortunately, the BlueTooth applet in Intrepid's GNOME is a bit broken. Intrepid just came out, so expect some rough edges to be fixed. If you know what package the KDE program you're using is in you could install that package on Ubuntu and use this applet in Ubuntu's GNOME.

Or follow this procedure: first, install the package bluez-compat using your package manager. Now, put BlueTooth on the N810 visisble. Then use hcitool to scan. After you got the BlueTooth address, write it down (in case for usage next time). Now use hidd to connect.

One could put something like

Code:
#!/bin/bash
hidd --connect uu:vv:ww:yy:xx:zz
In a file called btnit.sh
Then chmod this +x
And put this on the desktop or in ~/bin

Then you can easily make it work.
