Moinak,
I looked at Barry on Ubuntu a couple of months back
The problems that I found where
- Dial up networking is not supported on my BlackBerry ( BB Curve 8130 )
- Sometimes and just sometmes, Barry tends to screw up your address
book in your phone ;)
Barry took a lot of pain to compile on Ubuntu ( openmotif, some weird
HAL settings etc ...)
I am not sure it would be worth the pain right now to get it working
on Solaris.
Thanks
Manish
