I'm considering upgrading my mobile.
Having been with Nokia for most of my mobile life, I'm getting frustrated with their phones firmware (great when you first use them, but like Windows they just get slower and slower with use; it now takes me several seconds to open the Messaging application on my N82). And I've never had any real joy connecting the Nokia to my Linux box.

It can be done, I have had my Nokia E71 synchronized with Evolution via the Funambol server at ScheduleWorld. (You can also use myFunambol.com or install Funambol on your own system) However it's not perfect and I don't really want to have to synchronize two clients with a server, why can't I (as I would usually in Windows) synchronize from phone to desktop.
What I *actually* do now is sychronize my E71 with my Windows XP guest machine running in VirtualBox.
I'm considering Samsung phones (in particular the Pixon) but have never used Samsung before. Can anyone give me any advice as to how well I'll be able to connect my phone to my Linux box?
Googling for "Linux Samsung Pixon" got me nowhere (nothing relevant, not even people trying, never mind succeeding or failing!)
What OS does Samsung use? That's really what decides whether it's easy to connect to Linux or not.
