NetworkManager 0.8.1 does have Bluetooth DUN support, so the version
should be fine.  However, you'll want to make sure you have
gnome-bluetooth installed, and then you'll want to re-pair your phone
and at the end of the pairing process, check the "Access the internet
with my phone" box, which makes the device show up in NetworkManager.

If that doesn't work, getting some logs from NetworkManager (usually
in /var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log) woudl be necessary to
figure out what's going wrong.
