Re: [SLE] Mobile phones: How to get photos off a Nokia 6230 via USB

Thanks for this pointer; the obex homepage lists the 6230 phone as supported. I'll try it out later tonight.

Some USB things might provide USB Mass Storage, just like any USB stick.

I tried that, but no block device is established.

In the meantime, I learned that cdc_acm (via /dev/ttyACM*) establishs a serial AT device over USB and that gnokii supports that as well. I'll have to give that a try, too.

But full functionality might need an unsupported kernel module nokia_dku2, that got thrown out of the official kernel tree by Greg KH last year. Sadly, his throw-out message was not too informative (``causes problems and is the wrong way to implement anyhow'').

I'll keep the list posted on further results; as others might have the same phone and might want to access it as well.
