Has anybody managed to sync their 6600 with Linux over Bluetooth?
I'm particularly interested in getting the 6600 to sync with Ximian Evolution, but the only app I've found, MultiSync, doesn't appear to support the phone. 😞
Anybody?

Syncing with Linux
I got my 6600 connected to my Linux notebook and I can send file to the phone.
I did not sync anything though. 😊
If you need help about how to connect the phone in generel, lemme know.

how did you transfer files and stuff in linux?
I used these tools to check the BT setup on my 2.6.3 kernel:
- hciconfig (This must show 'UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN' without 'AUTH ENCRYPT'😉
- hciconfig hci0 piscan
- hcitool scan
- hcitool info <HW-ADDR>
- l2ping -c <n> <HW-ADDR>
- sdptool browse <HW-ADDR>
- ussp-push /dev/rfcomm0 src-file dst-file
HTH, Harry
Here are couple of guides: http://mobile.linux.pt/p800/ This one is aimed at the p800 but it features a general Bleuetooth configuration.

My personal favourite,an article which uses p3nfs .Its awesome,you can actually mount the filesystem of your Symbian device on your Linux box.
And a load of other Bluetooth Howto's : http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/
did you manage to get any sort of sync? :con?
