Introduction

I got myself a Nokia 6680 phone and wanted to connect it to my Ubuntu Linux machine.
Here are some quick notes on what I had to do to get it running.

Connecting using Nokia DKU-2 USB cable

The Nokia 6680 comes with a DKU-2 USB cable which can be used to connect the phone to your computer.

Transfer files

Using obexftp

When I used obexftp I had to use the -F flag to get listings.

obexftp -U 1 -F -c C: -l

Syncronizing Nokia 6680 with files

To keep a backup of all contacts and Calendar events I use msynctool to backup all data to my computer.

Since the file-sync backend can only sync to one directory per group I had to create two groups, one for Contacts and the other for Events (Calendar).

Below is a instruction on how to set up this in the same way as I did.

First to you create the nokia-contact group using msynctool and add members to it. First a file-sync and then a syncml-obex-client.

Then configure the file-sync member to set the directory into which the data is to be saved.

In the XML change the path element to contain /home/user/Documents/PC_Suite/Contacts/.

Now configure the syncml-obex-client member.

Set the following data.
identifier: PC Suite
version: 1
wbxml: 1
usestringtable: 1
type: 5
recvLimit: 10000
maxObjSize: 10000

And now the create the nokia-events group.

Configure the file-sync member and set the path to /home/user/Documents/PC_Suite/Event/.

Configure the syncml-obex-client member and set the same data as for the nokia-contact group above.

And we are done. To help running the synchronisation I use the following shell script.
