Description: An universal mobile phone with 3.2 megapixel camera, MP3 player, UMTS/GPRS and PIM functions.
It has 64 MB flash and you can add storage using a Memory Stick Micro M2.

Like it's brothers from Sony Ericsson, when connected via USB, you can choose one of 3 modes.
As I have a German model, I don't know their English labels, but they are mass storage mode (internal flash and memory stick appear as separate USB mass storage devices), phone mode (syncing) and print mode.

I use the mass storage mode for copying files (photos, mp3s, ...). The other modes are not of particular interest for me.

No matter which mode you choose, and even when you cancel the mode menu, you will have a network device usb0 available.
I configured the phone to automagically connect via UMTS when USB is plugged in. Combined with a DHCP client you have instant internet without any configuration.
Works really nice.

Concerning not Linux connectivity but the phone's hard- and firmware: the camera lid often opens unintentionally.
Sometimes, especially after using the camera, keyboard lock is off.

Picture quality is OK for snapshots but not as high as with my not too expensive Kodak CX6330.

Can you post the details of how you configure the phone so that you could use the usb0 network connection.

I have been unable to get the usb0 network device to obtain an IP address.

Regards,
Steve
