Most importantly, I'm looking for a cell phone that exchanges data with a gentoo laptop, easily (kmobiletools) or some other kde gui based app. Then I'd like the option for wireless internet connectivity (flat rate). or the ability to use the ppp+cell phone for access thru my firewalled static IP connection. Any recommendations? I do like the usb port on a motorola razr, but, I not sure mot-cell phones are friendly with linux/gentoo... One of my co-workers (windoz user) just got a razr and it get's reception where my krufty-LG does not, both using Alltel. well, I got my new razr today - and I am not too happy. Compared with my old Sony Ericson, bluetooth is crippled and everything seems to be a lot more complicated. While it is easy to put files onto the phone or fetch them with kdebluetooth with the SE, it seems not to be even possible with the razr. :( also, the razr does not support EDGE, so its networking is kinda slow compared to phones with it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I bought a Razr last year, it works with the CVS (or is it SVN?) version of kmobiletools, but not so well with the release in portage. I notice there's now a 0.5 beta in portage, masked.

With my RAZR, I can sync phonebooks via bluetooth or usb, but this is crippled in only name+number is synced - i.e., no additional attributes such as home/work/mobile is sync'ed. I am able to download photos/movies from the phone with either bluetooth or usb. I can upload files with usb but there is something weird with it. For example if I upload a mp3 file, then tell the phone to use it as a ring tone, it doesn't. I can upload files fine with bluetooth, including mp3 to ringtone. I couldn't make heads or tails of the Konnector stuff. Overall I'd score the RAZR about 5 on a 10 point scale. I'd score the linux support about 5 too, the parts are there, the setup is difficult, the UI elements are clunky.
