Make the AddressBook autodetect your Bluetooth phone

If you go into the preferences file for your Address Book and enable the boolean option "ABCheckForPhoneNextTime," your address book will automatically connect to your Bluetooth device when it starts up. This file is located in your user's Library -> Preferences folder and is called com.apple.AddressBook.plist.

[robg adds: You can also set this value in the Terminal by typing defaults write com.apple.AddressBook ABCheckForPhoneNextTime -boolean true. I don't, however, have a Bluetooth phone with which to test the hint.]
