I have recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my computer. Now i want to sync my E65 phone with my computer so that i can take backup of my to do lists, contacts and calender. Is there a Nokia PC Suite for Ubuntu Linux which i may install on my PC? Please help!! Thanks in advance...

The best option i would suggest is, Install wine, and then, using wine install Nokia PC Suite. Then sync whatever you want to sync. You can use your phone as a mass storage device by default and ubuntu also detects the nokia phone as a modem when default mode is selected. So there should be no problems... Hope this help...

I don't want to use Nokia PC Suite of Windows as i had tried this earlier and it failed. I think the logical hardware structure and ports are different on Windows and Linux OSes, which causes problem. Also if i have a pc suite which would work natively on linx, then it would be more reliable. Any workaround you guys think? Please help, i have not taken backup of my phone since a long time and i don't want to loose the data. Please help...

I would suggest you to experiment with opensync and multisync. These packages are intended for sync operations between mobile devices and your Ubuntu OS. Well there is a way to sync all bluethooth phones with Evolution using opensync and multisync, But for that make sure you have a bluetooth enabled computer. E65 has bluetooth...

I did it on a nokia n80, n73, 6230(somethinsimilar..is a folder java phone), 7610, 6630 & 6680....
This is how to do it...
Connect your phone via datacable
open terminal & type
lsusb
now u will get the following output
owais@owais-desktop:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0421:0445 Nokia Mobile Phones
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:092f Logitech, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
owais@owais-desktop:~$
it is on my compter,ur will not be exactly the same...
Now note the line in which NOkia Mobile Phones is written...it has two number one is 0421 & other is 0445...we'll take these numbers as 0x421 & 0x445
0421 is the Vendor ID & 0445 is the Product ID
Now enter this comand.
sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x(vid) product=0x(pid)
eg, in my case::: sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0×421 product=0×445
Now enter this command
wvdialconf create
u'll get a long output which will be like
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

ttyACM0: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 — OK
Found an USB modem on /dev/ttyACM0.
Modem configuration written to create.
ttyACM0: Speed 460800; init “ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0″
NOw.. notice the output says that there is a modem at /dev/ttyACM0 & max speed is 460800
now enter this command
sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
A file will open in text editor...now delete everything in that file & paste the following there
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = Your Modem Name(eg, /dev/ttyACM0 in my case)
Baud = ur max speed(460800 in my case)
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99#
Username = username
Password = password
Stupid Mode = 1
save the file & you are done
NOw whenevr u need to connect...open terminal & type wvdial,,wait till some sort of IP adress is displayed like
pppd: �[06][06][08]` [06][08]
primary DNS address 218.248.240.135
pppd: �[06][06][08]` [06][08]
secondary DNS address 218.248.240.79
pppd: �[06][06][08]` [06][08]
Now you are connected....hit cntrl+c to dissconnect...
U can also create a laucher on desktop(application in terminal) & keep the command as wvdial..now double click it & u r connected
