I need to get a new mobile phone, and I'd really like one that will work
with Linux software. Specifically I'd like to, at minimum, be able to
back up my contacts, and preferably be able to sync contacts and calaneder
entries with some piece of software on the PC. An added bonus would be
the ability to move mp3 ringtones and such to the phone.
I'm sure that all this and more is possible with some "smart phones",
but I'm constrained by cost and carrier (Sprint) to the following
possibilities:
LG LX-160
Samsung M300
Sanyo SCP-3100
Sanyo KATANA II
Sanyo SCP-3200
Motorola MOTORAZR V3m
Samsung M510
Does anyone know anything about getting these to work with Linux or, even
better, have some personal experience? I know bitpim seems to be popular
software to interface with phones, but I can't find a definite statement
that any of these work with bitpim except the SCP-3100, and it seems to
only do limited stuff. If you don't have any info about these specific
models, can you comment on which manufacturers (if any) are generally most
likely to have phones that work with Linux?
Thanks,
Nick
