Until Nokia decides to be a bit more open about their serial protocol, don't
drool too much over them. I've been hammering away at them for over a year
now trying to get them to tell me how to talk Palm to 6190 with no progress.
Hell the 6190 has a serial interface built in and they still won't talk
about it! The only current solution with them is a $170+ external
interface.
Frustrated...
