Re: phone simens ME45 and obexftp via USB
Sorry , it seems , mailserver droped first answer , and - buy the way - i had to reinstall my system , so i write again.
And it drops mails from Opera-mail , so i write from web.

It's actually a sync hell I should admit and advise you 1. backup your
phones on a windows machine as I did before experimenting and 2. join the
opensync-users@lists.sourceforge.net or some of the *-pim lists. There you
can find more detailed information on how to get the phone syncing. by the
way you should also mention vendor/model of the phone and versions of tools
you use. Did I mention backup?!
<<<<<<<<<<<<
Thanks , i will try it. Maybe also forum on obexftp.sourceforge.net ?
<<<<<<<<<<<<
I have also tried using USB cable with VMPLayer and windows (this is the way
I backup my phone), because it is working out of the box, but with IRDA and
BT I didn't have the time and patience to play.
<<<<<<<<<
I have used Virtualbox , but it couldn't connect to phone. I will try Vmware.

Also it would be nice if we could convince the manufacturers to
provide "siemens data sute" or respectively nokia and so on for linux or at
least common interface, which they recently try to do, but only with few
product lines. Linux developer _do not_ have enough information to do the
work. At least, what I was told. Write to Siemens, Nokia & Co.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Since the piece of the linux desktops is very small against the one of the windows ,
we have also small chances to do something with the manufacturers :(

I can not help that much with USB though I'm using now IRDA as it's built in
the notebook. With USB I see my phone as a usb harddrive, so I just copy
the files. I'm not sure if it's obex. I think not.
<<<<<<<<<<
irda-utils can't find the coresponding chip on my notebook
What about phone as usb harddrive - it's obexfs , but it works with smartphones , as i suppose.
It failes to mount my phone:(
<<<<<<<<<<
Are you using command line or some kind of GUI?
