[gentoo-laptop] Gentoo laptop, bluetooth and mobile phone

[Will Briggs]

G'day everyone,

I'm in the process of buying a new third generation mobile phone.  It'll 
have bluetooth etc. and I want to be able to ensure that I can sync with 
it, drag images and movies off it, and use it's internet connectivity 
from gentoo on my laptop.

The phone I'm considering is the Samsung A701.

The problem is, I can't find any information on linux compatibility with 
this phone.  Tuxmobil is a great site but doesn't list this phone.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing, or can point me 
to some good info?  Any "gotchas" to be aware of and avoid?

Appreciate it,

W.

I suggest looking into the Neo1973 by FIC; they've set a release date of 
(IIRC) March 11.  It'll have a full F(L)OSS software stack, except for the 
GPS softdriver which (I assume) can be disabled.
