I have the Google G1, also made by HTC. There a few music apps which will detect your phone...and sync as well On 25 May 2010 12:44, John Matthews jake...@sky.com wrote: I bought the HTC Desire phone this week, and I am wondering will it connect to Ubuntu?

I would use Google sync tools with Evolution or Thunderbird and Lightning for desktop, and possibly Songbird with FolderSync for music and photos and things at the moment.

Android is designed to upgrade over the air so you shouldn't have to connect it to a computer at all. YMM, of course, V. My Milestone has just been updated to Android 2.1 but I needed to connect via wi-fi rather than over my T-Mobile 3G connection but it should be dependent on the hardware maker rather than the phone company.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] HTC Phone connecting to Ubuntu
Hi If you mean update the phone then you will get notifications on the phone for app and android updates and it will update them using 3G/wifi if you let it update, therefore no you won't need windows to update the phone.
