your memory card will be one of the following:

/dev/sda
/dev/sda1

or sdb/sdc

I was having a problem too.
I found a workaround

For as soon as plugging in the mmc, type

fdisk -l /dev/sda (or sdb or sdc. No need for a 1 here)

and then procede to mount it.

Nokia phones usually have FAT 16 disks

read support for ntfs: www.fedorafaq.org, write is experimental, so don't do it if you don't want to lose data.

For NTFS support, read here http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ or here http://www.fedorafaq.org/#ntfs. Writing to NTFS is not recommended.

Search this forum, there are a few how-tos, althought they have never worked for me, they may work for you

It starts with getting bluez, which is now shipped with fedora

See if you can get KDEBluetooth to work, I use it on Gentoo. Its got a great interface. Pairs up easily (doesn't give any problems like bluez although it uses the bluez bluetooth stack).
