Developer, Nick Burch, prepared a page with details how he got his S60 phones play nicely with Linux. He also provided the details explaining what applications he’s put on them, how he’s (trying to) program them, what he’s used them for, and other similar things.

Some of the issues he covered:

  • Communicating with S60 phone from Linux
  • Bluetooth Applications and Uses
  • TCP/IP over Bluetooth
  • File Formats
  • Vodafone UK specific issues
  • Software and Games
  • and more.

Great read for all Linux users, who at the moment can not use Nokia PC Suite.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
