Works like a charm. You can either take out the Sony memory stick, and use it in a built in card reader or usb card reader, or you can use its usb2 wire.
I just connected the phone directly to my laptop through its USB2 wire. The laptop detected it and you just mount the partition, as shown below in the output of dmesg. You need the usb-storage module from within the kernel.
This is definately worth the buy. Fast phone (finally i can say its interface is very smooth and fast), and a very sharp 2MP camera inside it. It has panoramic capture mode, and the speaker you can use in a hall! (very loud..).
