Despite all problems I had to stop my phone subscription at Orange 
, my new subscription will be an Orange one 
, after all, they are not so bad 
, my choice was a little quickly and I chose a Sony Ericsson w810i 
, I would have to check the compatibility of this telephone with Linux… Indeed I would like to be able to synchronize it with Kontact 
, in particular the calendar, To-do and the list of contacts… If like me you have large fingers: the keyboard of the portable telephone can be for you a nightmare

The good point of Sony Ericsson w810i is that it is provided with a USB cable to connect it with your PC, when it is connected, two modes are available:
- File transfer
- phone mode
The phone mode can be used with Kmobiltools to see contacts, the SMS sent and receives, to telephone and send SMS. But I still did not find the ultimate tool allowing me to synchronize my mobile phone with my KDE with the USB link, for that I am testing some software:- Kandy: hmmm… that does not work!
- Kmobiletools: works very well but it is not what I am looking for
- Wammu/Gammu: the X interface is very ugly but this software seems to works well when it does not freeze
- Gnokii: command line tool and requires to create yourself a configuration file. Kontact uses this tool by default, but that does not work very well
- GCALSYNC: that deviates a little my wired vision of a local synchronisation, but that will at least enable me to manage correctly my schedule.
but I seek and hope well to find a perfect solutionTags:

Unfortunately I'm experiencing the same trouble as you are. (I'm running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn unstable version)
I'm about to try this myself (on ubuntu 7.04 - feisty fawn) perhaps it is worth a try!

is it possible to use this phone as a modem under linux .. i have conected to the inet with it under winblows but i have yet to figure out the way to use it in linux ? deb etch 4.0 kern 2.6.20-grml
i use multisync with my w810i on my Edgy box.It synchronizes pretty clean with Evolution,plus i use Bluetooth so no carrying cables.
Hi All, the w810i syncs great with Linux over Bluetooth. With a cable it is quite tricky and you need to google for obex-over-cable(something similar). For sync you need the obex protocol, which works best with Bluetooth. (If you haven't a bluetooth chipset, buy a bluetooth usb stick costs only 10-20 EURO.)
It is also possible to use the w810i as a modem under Linux, also very easy with Bluetooth.

can anyone please help to use internet on my linux desktop with usb cable? I actually got connected through usb cable to GPRS server but not getting a single byte from server but able to send request packets to GPRS server.
Am I missing anything on linux?
i think you only need to load kernel module "cdc_acm"
sudo modprobe cdc_adm
my puppy linux automatically recognise my w810i when i boot it. I connect my w810i's modem from /dev/modem. And i can connect to internet via gprs/edge without any problem...
