Could anyone possibly port bitpim (http://www.bitpim.org)?
They already have a .deb for 1386.
Here is the source code http://www.bitpim.org/developer.html
It supports syncing phones trhough bluetooth.
Thanx a bunch!

Hmmm looks likely enough... it's mostly in python.

However I use bitpim on my mac and it's pretty slow even on a 1.83GHz processor with 2 gigs of ram. I think it'd be pretty glacially slow on our tablets.

However, that notwithstanding I've thought about it and I'd really like it on my N810 if it were possible

I've used it on my vista and it runs fast enough.
Obviously, the bluetooth sync isn't extremely speedy, but thats just bluetooth.

Hmmm... that's true... I'll take a look at it, hangon

EDIT: Okay, so bitpim itself is pure python. It doesn't need to be built at all That's the good news.

The bad news is that it looks like we need wxPython built and that requires alien and rpmbuild.

Then we need PySerial and APSW :P

And I was wondering why nobody had done this before :P

So... it looks possible but it might take a while. I'm gonna take a shot at it, but don't expect much :P

True, but there are still quite a few popular CDMA phones (Venus, Chocolate, etc.)

Hehe, in Europe, we will never see CDMA phones

GSM/UMTS (or HSDPA) ftw :P

Hmmm small status update. So far I've done the following:

installed and setup pySerial with no problems (needed to install python2.5-dev)
Found there was no need for alien/rpmbuild (found source for debian python-wxgtk2.6)
Tried to build APSW and got a million syntax errors in gcc :P I'll try in scratchbox instead of on the device.

Oh and I found that the Debian Armel already has a ready-to-go package for bitpim which makes me wonder why I'm trying this crazyness anyway. Could someone who's got either the debian chroot or full debian on their device perhaps install bitpim and try it?

Well, UMTS and HSDPA are actually using W-CDMA (Wideband CDMA), so.. it's here already! In a sense..
