Please tell whether Nokia Ovi suite works on Ubuntu. I searched a lot not but have not been able to find the answer.
If not please provide me with some other alternative.

There is no official support by Nokia. I'd recommend to use the Ovi Suite via dual boot into Windows/Mac. But there is also a project currently in development: http://series60-remote.sourceforge.net/index.php?module=Content&func=view&pid=8

I'm using OVI Suite from my Ubuntu 12.04 (and 10.04 before that) in a WindowsXP Virtualbox. It works fine after giving Virtualbox access to bluetooth. |

S60 Remote as well as Nokunto, Gammu/Wammu and Xgnokii are all a waste of time as it doesn't really work. I am using a seto of sulutions that will most definately help you. Read here http://askubuntu.com/captcha?s=c4d2a716-1e69-4e5b-b62a-fadf4809020c I summarize the system integration, which is easy enough to set up: On the Computer
On the Phone - Android or Symbian
You can always still sync your Gmail contacts via your phone's own sync app, which is what I am doing. I am using Nokia's own email and synced contacts with Google but I sync my calendar via Emoze. It works better on my Nokia E63 and it also uses less battery this way. I have been using Nokia ever since 1995 but will now switch to Samsung as their Android phones co-habitate more seamlessly with Linux and offer more solutions. Nokia did not see the need to develop for us Linux users and painted themselves into a corner, sadly. Their phone hardware remains the best, I suppose. I have used other contacts sync plugins for Thunderbird but found them to be lacking when compared with the Zindus app. gContactsync, if I recall the name correctly, is inconsistent and complicated. Follow the links on my posts as well. Always add or suggest alernatives if you have found a better solution, please. |
