Hello Nokia

Nokia handphones are widely use in the world. Linux OS are more and more replacing Windows OS. There's needed linux application of PC Suites to be used by Nokia user. Like myself, I'm using Nokia 6820 phone needed desperately to have Linux version of PC suite especially in Ubuntu, Open Suse and other leading Linux OS.

Please Nokia.

Have any of you tried running it under WINE ?

I don't know enough about linux to know if it would work or not.

[mshjohorean]

hu'uh.. not working in my HP 6510b
FYI, I don't have cable for my handphone. Why I must pay more if there's bluetooth in my notebook?

I too wish for a data-suite for Ubuntu (deb-based Linux distribution).

This is my first Nokia phone (n95) and if Nokia do not at least state an intention to develop a linux application then that will be a MAJOR factor in deciding my next choice of phone.

Can a moderator please advise if NOKIA are at least looking into developing such software ?

Thanks

Hi there!

Don't bother nokia pc suite doesn't work on windows xp neither. I have the problem with the latest pc suite and I can't connect my e50. Version I have received on CD can't be installed - because of errors even though th CD is clean 100% and I have administrator rights on my windows. Enjoy your ubuntu or other linux distro and buy mobile phone from other manufacturer.

Greets,
Huczek

PC synchronising software is offered free of charge by all mobile phone manufacturers, so it's unlikely that any will develop Linux software - the OS may be growing, but it is still only a minority system.

There are independent solutions avbailable, here are just a couple of examples:

To Huczek, I would say that if you created an account here to moan, then don't you think you wasted your effort? If you gave proper info about the problems you've had, the members here might be able to suggest what is going wrong for you.

I'm using (K)ubuntu too. It seems to be very popular with younger people, why Nokia hasnt started tapping into the new kid's on the block.

Younger people are more computer savvy, Nokia should aim for the future.

If they made nokia suite open sourced, it would improve much faster having a world community working on the project for free..

I need Nokia Suite instead of a hacked version of it.

Please Nokia, for your future..

Me too, I'm using ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04, and I have a Nokia N96, I'm also wondering why there isn't any Linux version for Nokia PC Suite.

I would love to see this coming soon as I don't use Windows that much now, except for work.

Cheers,

Jenson

PLEASE can we get an ubuntu compatible version of your Nokia software suite ....

[truestone]

Time has broken both links. As far as I understand, SugarSync has nothing in store for Nokia or Linux anymore. The Glide OS does list both Symbian and Linux support, but it acts "through the cloud": you synchronize calender, contacts or files over a website where you registered. Assuming they do target your real Nokia calendar and not something you browse to while online.

Anyway, not quite the same as accessing your mobile from your Linux PC. There are a lot of tools for that listed at TuxMobil. I have not tried any.

[paroorvijay]

firstly there is no pc suite for linux/ubuntu available from nokia. However latest version of ubuntu gives support to use mobile modem to **bleep** internet. Just connect the mobile through wire to pc and the operating system will ask few questions and you are connected.

Get a card reader costing hardly anything and use it to copy files from pc to card and put the card in mobile to use the files in mobile and vice versa. this is useful to copy songs, videos and other files including third party programmes and games etc to be copied. Programmes can be installed from the card in mobile.

Now to take a back up - back up on the card and then copy it to the pc by putting the card to pc card reader.

Most of the requirements can be managed like this. Of course it will have its own limitations. But other fanciful features fo pc suite are otherwise not very essential.

I found ubuntu better and mangeable without a pc suite.

I am still not understood reason for nokia not giving support to linux.

[jascha]

I switched to ubuntu too. Its better and faster in many ways. It was VERY dissapointing as I found out that such a large company like nokia doesnt support linux. 

I know there are mobiles that does and now I consider switching my mobile brand too! Please wake up nokia!! It's year 2010!

I am using Ubuntu and i was able to get the data from my Nokia Mobile to my PC .. 

Steps to Get data on to ur Linux PC

1) Connect the USB cable from mobile to your PC .

2) Select Data Storage from the options which come in the Mobile.

3) Do a "fdisk -l"   in command prompt which list all the disks along with the external disk of the Mobile.

4) Mount the disk of the Mobile to a folder.

5) Now you can transfer the files from this folder.

Hello,

I developed an alternative for Linux - at least for S60 phones. It is available here. It offers an extensive message management (with a history browser, "chat"-function and statistics), contact management (add/edit/delete contacts) and a basic file management.

Feel free to contact me about any issues and general feedback.

I have always been a nokia user and now sue ubuntu, Nokia really need to make pc suite available for its clientelle on other OS esp the open source. 

if one is available i would like to know about it.

[QuinceARJxxx]

I think there's an Alpha version of Nokinux, https://launchpad.net/nokinux 

hopefully it will make it stable soon.

Ubuntu may need help but all is not well in windows either!  I have Windows 2007 and with the Nokia CA101 cable can connect to transfer photos songs and even software but only if I do not use Nokia PC Suite.  With PC Suite I cannot even recognise a phone is connected.  I am unable to use my windows based pc for contacts and easy updating of contacts in outlook for example.  Have tried all of the phone connection types but the Nokia PC Suite still cannot find the phone at all.  Cable works with windows explorer but cannot find contacts on the phone.  Does anyone know how to get over PC Suite not seeing the phone?
