What is the best way to manage my Android phone with my Linux (U11.04) desktop?
I don't currently use it for music etc, and all the stuff I've found so far seems to focus on syncing to banshee. I'm more interested in contacts, SMS/MMS, and maybe photos (I say "maybe" because it's easy enough to just drag photos off via USB anyway).
I'm not particularly looking to sync the contacts etc with something else, just back them up, although sync would be fine. (Specifically: I went to NY recently and got a local PAYG SIM for the duration, then lost my UK SIM, so I now have a new SIM and have discovered just how many of my contacts were on the SIM not on the phone... Also, for the contacts that were on the phone it was obvious when I tried using them in NY just how many were prefixed 0nnn rather than +44nnn and a way to easily edit them all would be nice.)
Also I'd like to archive off my SMS messages, so again it's not really about sync but just backup.
Phone is an HTC Desire HD, although I will probably replace it with a newer Android (Samsung Galaxy S2 looking likely) in the near future.
