SupportedPhonesSonyEricsson - OpenOBEX - Trac
Some Sony Ericsson phones are rather picky when it comes to the usage of serial cables. While some phones work with cables which just do voltage-level adaptation of the Rx/Tx? lines, other phones insist (at least in OBEX mode), that there is a working hardware handshake via the RTS/CTS lines. Some phones are also happy if only RTS is supported. No-name cables typically lack the RTS/CTS voltage-level adaptation and don't connect the RTS and CTS pins.

Here is a motley assortment of bits and pieces that might help you on your path to Linux guruhood. The nasm assembler source code and a floppy disk image for UNIOS, a bootable hello world program. If you want to assemble (ie compile) the code yourself, you will need to download the nasm assembler.
Modern society is ruled, dominated, and slavishly beholden to one of mankind’s most simple machinations: The binary digit. What will be the next analog device to fall victim to binary, and what does it mean to have just a handful of fiber optic cables carrying the sum of human civilization?
ExtremeTech - Deep technology for enthusiasts and professionals
KDE, GNOME/Nautilus, OpenWindows, WINE, etc. -- plenty of GUIs make it easier for users to access the power and elegance of Linux applications. What component can be added to this mix to insinuate Linux even more firmly into the consumer device arena? A touchscreen. With a touchscreen, a Linux device can become a controller for a slew of devices such as a digital video recorder, a TiVo-like personal video recorder, a media center, a smart-house system, or even a control interface to a toaster. The possibilities are boundless.
