I recently installed Linux in my computer since Windows gave me some problems (and I had too many games which distract me sooooo much).
Sometimes I connect my phone to my computer to save pictures and get some music on the phone so when I realized I couldn’t exchange files I got a bit worried and started to do some research 
I finally found a package that can be used with phones regardless the connection you use (Bluetoot®, USB or IR).
I installed this 2 packages<
alejandro@matos:~$ sudo aptitude install obexftp obextool
After installation, run this commands:
sudo obexftp -u
from help page: -u, –usb [<intf>] connect to a usb interface or list interfaces
I get this screen:
alejandro@matos:~$ sudo obexftp -u
Found 2 USB OBEX interfaces
Interface 0:
Manufacturer: Nokia
Product: Nokia N70
Interface description: SYNCML-SYNC
Interface 1:
Manufacturer: Nokia
Product: Nokia N70
Interface description: PC Suite Services
Use '-u interface_number' to connect
Nothing to do. Use --help for help.
So, I know that I have the interface to use, I run
alejandro@matos:~$ sudo obexftp -u 1 -l
Connecting...done
Receiving "(null)"... <?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE folder-listing SYSTEM "obex-folder-listing.dtd"
[ <!ATTLIST folder mem-type CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST folder label CDATA #IMPLIED> ]>
<folder-listing version="1.0">
<folder name="C:" user-perm="RW" mem-type="DEV" label="Memoria del teléfono"/>
<folder name="E:" user-perm="RW" mem-type="MMC" label="NOKIA N70"/>
</folder-listing>done
Disconnecting...done
Now, I run the GUI using the obextool:
sudo obextool --obexcmd "obexftp -u 1"
And this beautiful screen comes to life
Dude, tried this and it works like a charm !!! AMAZING !!! Thanks a lot ! keep the good stuff coming
You’re welcome
I’m glad it worked

is dere ny way to use n70 the way you use it in linux
to use it where?

please reply fast
Download the Nokia PC Suite
http://europe.nokia.com/A4144905
is dere any software for windows xp wich can show n70 same as in linux
like a usb device without accessing the phone through pcsuite
without PC Suite, you will have to find the drivers for the phone for yourself. Unless you use a card reader and put your memory card there. Otherwise…no solution
Why not using PC Suite? :S
becuse this things that I love linux… like a usb device without pcsuite !! AMAZING!! thanks!!!
i couldn’t find obextool rpm for fedora 9 could anybody help
Maybe you can transform a deb file into rpm with alias?
Hi, nice tip. Worked just fine for me. Just one question: do one have to unmount, or something like that, the phone after the usage?

Hi! I wanted to know if linux can be installed on my Nokia n70? N70 has an internal RAM of 53MB. Will this be enough for moblile linux? I tied searching over z net for this but am not able to!!
Hi, It works fain for me. Thank you for excellent tip.
I see it works fine for everybody who has tried it, but doesn’t work for me
I’ve got a Debian 4.0 R4A, installed the packages above, but no matter what USB port I use it keeps telling me that it fails to connect.
Could anyone please tell me, if I’m forgetting something here?
i have one problem i need to surf the internet with my Nokia N70 via USB cable can anyone help please?
It depends on your cell phone provider. If you want to surf THROUGH your cell phone, that’s another thing…kind of impossible as long as I know.
