Mobile Device Connectivity

[honeybee]

I am searching for a way to connect my two smartphones to my Linux Mint 8 OS. One of the phones is a Nokia N73 Music Edition running Symbian, while the other is the HTC Touch running Windows Mobile 6.0

I don't have much hope on the WinMobo because it only connects through ActiveSync which is a Win only software. However in the N73, for a data cable connection, I have the option to set the handset to act as Mass Storage, which in effect would turn it into a USB stick of sorts. This option, I hoped, would work even with Linux, but it doesn't seem so.

So any ways to connect these handsets, at least the N73 to Linux?

I've previously had a bit of success synchronising contacts from an Ubuntu laptop to a Nokia running Symbian OS over OBEX. I would assume that Mint is similar enough to Ubuntu to have the same apps available?

Have you tried searching/asking on the Ubuntu/Mint forums?
