You could try running the Garmin updater software using Wine [1][2] and I think I remember hearing about a program called Gnokii [3] for Nokia mobiles. Not quite sure if it is what you are looking for as I only vaguely remember a blogger giving it praise and have not had a chance to try it myself, but it may be worth a look. A quick look on the community documentation also suggests that you may be able to sync to Evolution [4] but I do not know if that includes the ability to restore back to the phone. As well as that a quick Google turned up the suggestion of a program called Gammu [5]. Hope that something there helps you out, I am sure someone else could give you a more solid recommendation but that should get you started. It is good to hear that you have almost moved over and just have a few things left =) [1] http://bit.ly/10snx3 [2] http://bit.ly/yRqFQ [3] http://bit.ly/3OLtK9 [4] http://bit.ly/Hh3jW [5] http://bit.ly/qiPU7 -- Jason Liquorish <[email protected]> -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
