I got a new cell phone. Nothing special, a Nokia 6555. I also spent $30 (gulp) on a cable so that I could, hopefully, retrieve the pictures off of it, possibly use it as an MP3 player, and maybe even see if this beasty can run Java, so I could upload Java apps to it. When I plug it in to my Linux box I get a little popup with previews of the pictures it's taken, but I can't seem to download them or mount this device as a drive.
Anyone played with this?

BitPim did magic for my LG last time I was playing with phones.. You may also connect your laptop to it via Bluetooth, both for remote connectivity as well as file sharing/moving.
Our new gadget (came today) was an ATT/vTECH EP5632 answering machine and base station, w 2 extra handsets. Place your bluetooth enabled phone (I'm using a MotoQ) near it and poof, you have house phones that use your cell phone to place calls, or answer them. This is really nice as we no longer have a landline.
My phone thinks it attached to a car handsfree system, so far (two calls) it's been pretty slick. It's supposed to work with two cell phones.. when Nancy gets home we'll try her "pink" LG chocolate.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
