I've recently bought myself a new mobile phone, and I'm pleasently surprised by how well it works with Linux. Below is the output from dmesg after pluging the phone into a usb port:

The on-board memory stick (which I must upgrade as it's only 64mb!) is automatically mounted by gnome with a removable file-system icon on the desktop. Gthumb even starts and asks if I wish to import photo's! I can even use the phone as a modem (dev/ttyACM0) when connect via the supplied usb cable. Presumably I'll be able to use the K750i as a modem over bluetooth as I was with my previous T610, but I've not tried yet...
