As I know, gnome-pilot depends on pilot-link which supports palmOS based PDA only. http://www.pilot-link.org/ "pilot-link is a suite of tools used to connect your Palm or PalmOS® compatible handheld with Unix, Linux, and any other POSIX-compatible machine. pilot-link works with all PalmOS® handhelds, including those made by Handspring, Sony, and Palm, as well as others." So it is not a surprise that it doesn't work on your new phone if it is not palmOS based. But it works quite well on those palmOS based PDAs as we tested before.
