Hi,
Unfortunately I've not heard anything with regards to connectivity under
Linux. One can hope that Symbian will eventually see the light and
release the specs for the various file formats. It's a shame, since I
like the Nokia 9210 very much and now that it is SSH enabled (even
though it will eventually cost me (or my employers) $149) it's become an
even more valuable tool to me. It's the only PDA that I actually like
using. The Palm Pilot was too just frustrating.
At last! No more on call duty carrying a separate mobile phone and
bulky laptop computer around.
I've thrown together some photos of the SSH client in action on my web
site at
http://www.martyn-drake.info/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=101&page_id=2.
Some of the shots have come out a bit blurry, but you should be able to
see the output of an 'ls' and 'top' (which refreshes quite well for a
9,600bps connection).
Regards,
Martyn

Does anyone heard of better Linux support for communicating
with this OS. The last I heard was that talking over the serial
port worked so files could be transferred but that Symbian were
refusing to provide information on the data formats used by their
applications and the only application whose data format had been
sucessfully reverse engineered was the word processor.
