I have raised the same problem some time ago and got no answer from the
list. I hope someone will take this issue into account as it makes the
tool almost unusable.

I manage to reach the phone with gnome-obex-send thanks to the --dest
option (with the phone IP).
In your case, you can put a launcher on the GNOME desktop (or panel)
with the following command:
gnome-obex-send --dest=00:12:47:10:CF:D5

Of course, it doesn't allow me to use nautilus-sendto and its bluetooth
options, but I can at least upload files from the computer to the phone.

Cheers,
Julien
