I kind of noticed the same thing when I first started using BlueZ, but
after a while and many problems, things got clearer.

Check what services are supported by your phone with `sdptool browse'

Yes, of course you need to edit some configuration files. You haven't
even read the man pages, have you? `man 5 hcid.conf' is a good starting
point, then edit /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf properly.

No need to have a working rfcomm device, AFAIK.

Some important userspace tools that ship with BlueZ are hcitool, sdptool,
hcidump, l2ping, hciconfig... use your distribution's package manager to
find them all. (for instance, `qlist bluez|grep bin' or `dpkg -L
bluez|grep bin')

Good luck.
