1 - Bluetooth. Any ideas of the Linux support? Does anyone have a specific adapter working?
I'm having one of those Acer bluetooth dongles which works great with linux. Enable usb and bluetooth support in your kernel and install the bluez-* packages like bluez-utils, bluez-pin ...
2 - Is anyone doing the same thing already that can point me in the right direction?
I have the Sony Ericsson T610 which works great with linux.
2 - Syncing the data. A lot of these phones have all of the standard PDA based apps built into them [calendar, contact list, todo list, etc]. Has anyone tried syncing this with something via Bluetooth?
Install the package multisync. This can sync your contacts, calendar etc. with evolution. In order to transfer shot pictures, sounds etc. from your mobile phone you need the openobex-tools. These are commandline tools. If you prefer a GUI and you run Sid, add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://debian.usefulinc.com/gnome ./ and install the package gnome-bluetooth.This installs a Nautilus VFS-module. Just type bluetooth:/// in nautilus and you should see your mobile phone listed. Now you can transfer sounds and pics by drag and drop. KDE 3.2 will eventually have bluetooth/obex support. By now there is a kio-slave named kio_obex in KDE-CVS in the module kdenonbeta, it would be cool if this made it into the 3.2 release.
