My todays post covers my efforts to synchronize my samsung star mobile phone on ubuntu.

First of all I tried BitPim, an open source tool to sync mobile phones. Unfortunatelly, with the current version of bitpim, it didn’t work.

So I installed a VirtualBox using Windows Vista. Samsungs PC Studio seems not to work on a virtual installation of Vista? At least when I tried to install it it crashed my whole installation ;-(

So far, it does not work for me (ok, dualbooting to windows DOES work)

Edit 1 [01/12/10]: What works is sending files via Bluetooth. The mobile recognizes the files based on their ending. So you can send your contact data using *.vcf files. Each contact in one file is in my part of view just boring ;-)
