I managed to get my Symbian based SE P900 to talk to my computer via a
USB bluetooth dongle.

I can't remember the details exactly, but I do recall it being a bit of
a pain.

The general gist was first using obextool to push the nfsapp on the
phone. I could then use that with p3nfs to mount the phone and browse
its filesystem. However, I ended up having to use two different PCs
with different distros to get this going, as the packages with these
tools were either not available or not working well.

If you use kde or gnome then there are gui bluetooth frameworks being
developed for both, which may be a bit easier.

My only interest in this was sticking a copy of doom on the phone, so I
didn't try messing with the phonebook. I highly doubt that access to the
SIM is possible, but the phonebook should be accessible is it is stored
in memory, as in the case of the P900.

Regards,

Devin
