Here is a link to a tutorial on getting a Nokia 3650 to work with Linux over Bluetooth. I suspect that most of the steps would be similar with other series 60 phones. I managed to get it working enough to send files from the phone, but for some reason, I couldn't get it working the other way. I don't know about infrared compatibility, but I bought a USB bluetooth adapter, and, at least in Windows, it works well. As I said, I had it partially working under Linux, but I then upgraded Slackware from 10.0 to 10.1, and deleted it all. Maybe, I'll give it another shot in the near future and see if perhaps, I did something wrong, but I think it should be possible. Bluetooth is nice, because, once set up, you can put the phone wherever you like, and it can be pointing in any direction and still work. Of course, I strongly suggest that when you are done, you disable the Bluetooth support on the phone, since there are a few viruses which have been known to spread via that protocol. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Norton Antivirus for cell phones in the near future since Symantec seems to be willing to make a little money off anything. As I recall in my previous experiments, the biggest problem I had was with UDEV in the 2.6 kernel failing to create devices until I had echoed something to them. I don't know if this is still an issue, but this thread has made me want to give it another shot. Anyway, the URL of the tutorial I used for my previous attempts is below. http://www.saunalahti.fi/~laakkon1/linux/3650_blue.php Hope it is at least a little helpful.
