Another similar effort, possibly more integrated into GNOME is described at http://www.hadess.net/2007/11/new-gnome-phone-manager-and-telepathy.html

Phonetooth indeed uses a Bluetooth Serial Port Profile for communication with the phone. I currently use AT Commands as protocol. I will probably add gammu support for phones that don't support AT Commands. There seem to be quite a few.

I just released version 0.2.0

Release 0.2.0
* Support for sending messages in PDU mode (some devices don't support text mode)
* Added python gammu as backend (should increase number of supported devices)
* New config file layout

ebuild can be found on http://code.google.com/p/phonetooth/

You can now use gammu as backend for communication with your phone, this should help for phones that don't support at commands.
Use the gammu use flag in the ebuild

p1c2u: you should now be able to send sms messages in pdu mode (it was real pain :-)

)

Another version has been released, heavily improving sms sending with support for unicode and multi part messages.
It is also possible to use /dev/rfcomm* as device for people having trouble discovering their device.

Complete changelog:
* Allow connection through serial device
* Contacts can be exported to csv
* Support for unicode text messages
* Support for multi-part messages
* Delivery report option added
* Auto-detect port for file transfer

ebuild: http://phonetooth.googlecode.com/files/phonetooth-0.3.0.ebuild

I was able to install the latest ebuild (0.3.0) with the gammu useflag but if I try to start phonetoothui I get this error msg:

swimmer: python 2.4 does not support ternary operators, I restructured the code to work with python 2.4 by removing the ternary operators and will make a new release soon.

@Valkyr: thanks for the fast reply

You are the second (after the Portato guy) which tries to get me to python 2.5 ;-)

I will re-think it though ...

No probs, ebuild for version 0.3.1 can be found here http://phonetooth.googlecode.com/files/phonetooth-0.3.1.ebuild
It should work with python 2.4 so you're not forced to make the update just yet :-)

Thank you very much - now I can report that your application also works on a Sony Ericsson K800i with bluetooth ;-)

Phonetooth 0.3.1 detected my Nokia N70, but when I tried to send message I got error "Failed to send message: string index out of range"

Ps. Sending a file worked

Could you give me a string that reproduces the problem?

I know what was the problem. After entering number in contacts you have to click on the empty field below to make it saved... anyways, YOU ROCK!
You've done the impossible - I can send SMS from my Symbian phone from Linux!

Wow this is an exciting project. A desktop-neutral bluetooth phone manager!

I installed version 0.3.1 without the gamma use-flag. I'm using the sony k800i.

Everything works perfectly except for Send File... The phonetooth window says "File successfully sent." but nothing happens on my phone. Any ideas?

Also, will this program ever support receiving of sms messages on the computer (i.e. similar functionality to gnome-phone-manager)?

Thanks for the effort Dirk!

I'm glad you like it. The Send file functionality isn't that great at the moment and will be rewritten to use obex-data-server in stead of obexftp.
I started writing the application and implemented the features that I wanted to use, and receiving messages wasn't one of them. I never really saw the use of that feature because you can just read the message on the mobile phone (it is nearby if its connected). I will focus on other features first, but who nows if more people want the feature I might eventually implement it.

Development slowed down the last few weeks, because other things have been keeping me busy, but I will pick it back up one of these days.

Receiving SMS & MMS from the phone as a sort of backup would be a nice feature indeed ...

Also I'd prefer to have the sent messages written somewhere on the phone as well - as in 'Sent' or 'Saved messages' ...

Thanks for your good work!

Great job on the app. The previous version is working great here.

0.4.0 breaks compatibility with python 2.4, though:

Same here - unfortunately I don't have any time for testing since I'm travelling too much at the moment :-/
