I use wammu for my Motorola. It works pretty good. You may want to check into that until someone else chimes in with something else or something better. Oh, make sure you config the phone to be connected to a puter. I always forget that with my phone and it makes me scratch my head for a while then smack my forehead when I remember to change/check the config in the phone. Hope that helps.
