I use wammu for my Motorola. It works pretty good. You may want to |

Oh, make sure you config the phone to be connected to a puter. I always |

forget that with my phone and it makes me scratch my head for a while |

then smack my forehead when I remember to change/check the config in the |
| 31 |
phone. |
