hi,
some friends of mine who have migrated to ubuntu want to know how to back up
their phones. They say gammu does not work. Anyone has experience in this? I
do not have access to ubuntu so am unable to help them out. They all have the
latest nokias - E72 and suchlike.
I have an older Nokia N73 and Ubuntu 9.04. I use multisync (and
multisync-gui) to synchronise contacts and the calendar between my phone
and Evolution. There's some sort of guide here:

the bit about adding repositories because modern Ubuntus carry working
versions. Good luck.
In the end result, you should be able to turn on Bluetooth on your
phone, and on your laptop and click sync and have everything happen
automatically (it will prompt for conflicts though). If you have Ubuntu
One and choose the appropriate address book then your contacts will also
propagate to other computers of yours on Ubuntu One. Nice, eh?
