The sending-but-not-receiving is a known issue with 7650s,
unfortunately.  I raised it on the gsmlib mailing list but with no real
response.  You might want to try raising it there yourself.

I'm a bit mystified about the other behaviour, however the changes I'm
making to gnome-bluetooth right now will necessitate a reasonably
comprehensive rewrite for phonemgr so I'm trying to limit the time I
spend chasing bugs in the current version.
