[ubuntu-uk] SkypePhone S2

2008-09-09 Thread Rob Beard
Hi folks,

This might be a bit premature asking since it's only just been  
released, but I'm interested in getting the new Three SkypePhone S2.   
According to what I've read on the Three web site, this phone can act  
as a 3G modem (I did think the original SkypePhone could too).  I just  
wondered if anyone has got experience of using one of these phones to  
connect to a Linux machine (Ubuntu/Xubuntu) and if it works or not?

Other than that, has anyone got the original SkypePhone working with  
Ubuntu (ideally via Bluetooth)?

Ta,

Rob

Rob, possibly not very helpful (in fact quite probably lol) but with network
manager v.07 I no longer require the proprietary software for my vodafone 3g
dongle. Just plug in, select it from the menu of options in network manager,
supply the password and you're away  Hopefully the 3 phone will be
similarly easy to use... fingers crossed

Regards
Pete

I use V-moda vibe in-ear headphones (I got a free review pair - lucky me)
and there's a stupidly long review here. Can be had for about £30 if you
shop around, and I really like mine:- they have a lovely warm sound which
I've not got with in-ears before

I have the silvery chrome ones btw  :)
