This is the reason of most of your problems. well am using object push rather than object exchange, as the latter demands i have a paired device. you are right, with object push i get the files in my inbox, which i have managed to install without errors. i still don't understand why it halts at a random point with object push. it had worked earlier. anyways, i did find a quick-fix solution for the moment, but i still want the proper bluetooth-enabled full pc<>mobile experience. my quick-fix solution: the Nokia E61i ships with a usb cable. i connect using the data-transfer mode, so on my ubuntu desktop the phone appears as a hard-disk for the microSD card. a) transferred all *.jar, *.sis, and other apps and data files to personal folders on the card. b) unmount from the pc, and the phone goes back online. c) using the standard 'File Manager' program under Nokia's symbian S60, just browse to the folder in the microSD, and installed the apps and stored the data files in the relevant places. how do i backup my contacts, sync with the pc, send and receive sms etc., is still eluding me on my desktop gnulinux. by the way, found a few interesting GPL and LGPL apps, ironically written in FlashLite, for the mobile platform. those interested may hunt for them at flash-mini.com :-) niyam bhushan _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
