I'd like to connect an Alcatel OT-800A cellphone to a Wheezy desktop

Firmware? I think no firmware is needed for this :-?
The transfer options would depend on the capabilities of your mobile
phone. I would first read the manual to see what it allows (some models
do not permit to use the USB cable for accesing the phone's internal
memory or SD card storage while others need to be put in a special "usb
storage mode" to enable this possibility).
When you plug the USB cable, run "dmesg" to see how/if the phone is
detected.
OTOH, there is wammu/gammu utility that allows to access the mobile phone
as a modem or to get/send sms messages, phonebook, etc...
When I plug it in there is nothing in dmesg. It comes with a mini CD
that has all windows stuff. The laptop on this network still has XP on
it, but it is such a drag :-(
Thanks.
