At first i installed the fresh 0.21 Version of all opensync related stuff. Next I didn't use bluetooth, but WLAN. iwconfig eth1 essid TEST mode ad-hoc ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 Then I added TEST as a Connection Point under System -> Settings -> Connections. Don't forget to configure the IP of the phone (if you don't use ad-hoc this does not matter) Then I added a new Sync under Connections -> Sync. by (at first) copying the PC Suite settings (you get asked for that) Now I changed the new profile: Server Version: 1.1 Connection Type?

File transfer works out of the box using gnome-obex-server, but the modem was a little more tricky. The chat scripts seemed to not get any response.

However, I can't persuade the phone to work as a bluetooth modem with Dapper - several previous generations of Nokia phones (6310i, 6600, 6630..) have all worked fine with Dapper or previous incarnations of Ubuntu. Bluetooth connects, but the phone won't dial out as a modem. Oddly, it _will_ work with an Apple iBook. Have you by any chance tried this? No-one else out there seems to have put their recipe on the web yet.... an N80 question :)

I've seen reports of that working(N80 Linux). And that's a preferable interface anyway in my opinion.
