If by "connect" you mean "move photo/movie/sound/ringtone/etc files between host and phone" then I'll echo Curt's response. My by-now-ancient DroidX2 behaves perfectly with USB (and Bluetooth, I assume, though I've never tried it) for approved activities like that, presenting two block devices - one for the permanent internal storage and one for the removable storage - that I can mount and access trivially. AFAIK there's no tool (linux or other) that enables non-powerusers like me to install/change apps on my unrooted phone; the only way is by connecting back to the mothership over the air via WiFi or 3G to ask permission and gain access to the approved app repositories. OTOH, if by "connect" you mean "use the phone as my computer's Internet connection" (AKA "tethering") that's a much more interesting - and usually expensive - matter. I've been curious about Clearwire as a possible solution to mobile Internet - anybody have any experience with them? The fact that they're going through a rather melodramatic acquisition battle involving Sprint and Dish Network makes me want to hang back until the dust settles, though... _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
