PC Suite for Linux

When will you release a Linux version of PC Suite?
Quotes:
-Why on earth did you assume that people use only Windoze
-problem: can't find any official nokia software for linux os.
the point is that i don't wanna go back to xp.
-If I wanted a phone to connect to MS Windows, I'd have bought a Windows Mobile (smart)phone.
But I bought a Symbian OS phone, and I expected it to connect to Linux easily. Bad guess...
-With more and more users switching from XP/Vista to Ubuntu/Kubuntu or other distro's, they should at least figure out some kind of solution ( wine, virtualization, platform independent programming ) and put it on the net.
I currently own a N73, but my next phone will be one chosen for it's compatibilty with linux.
I still hope it will be a Nokia...
-Can anybody tell me how I can synchronize my smartphone (E50) with Linux PC? I want to use nokia but it doesn't mean I want use Microsoft :smileysad:
Why we didn't see Nokia PC Suit for Linux/FreeBSD/Mac OS X?
-GNU/Linux support (yeah, I'm a dreamer :smileyindifferent: ) It shouldn't be so hard, since Mac version exist!

This quotes are from one of 4 pages.
So can we have a straight answer (besides "Nokia PC Suite works only with Windows!" and "Buy a Windows PC!" - which is, by the way, a big slap on ALL Nokia users faces) to the question: When will you release a Linux version of PC Suite?
(I will ask this question everyday, if I have to, untill I'll get my answer and I summon all users to ask the same question here, the more the merrier :smileyhappy:)
Thank you!

It should work with OBEX, but I have not managed to get it to work; anyway there is one program for synchronising, one for SMS and another for something else - PC Suite would be so much better! Make one! :smileywink:

Re: PC Suite for Linux

If Nokia won't make a PC Suite for Linux, someone else will.

Some attempts to make a Linux version of PC Suite:

Re: PC Suite for Linux

File transfer works like a charm in Linux (thanks only to Linux comunities) but I wold like to update my firmware, back-up my contacts and calendar and Nokia doesn't give a f**k.
