Install the package gammu and wammu for your phone to work, also install the bluetooth support files I mentioned in iMav's thread.

^^^ Don't worry about that. 99% dongles use the common chipsets which are supported by Linux and if your dongle is not supported you are probably 1 in 100000!!!

I connected the phone via data cable & Wammu is working. But it is unable to retrive my "Phone contact", but it can easily read my SIM contact & SMS. I get a timeout error in wammu when i try to retrive phone contacts
I downloaded all the packages possible for bluetooth, still the same problem.
Also like I said before Amarok is the only media player which is able to play all my music fine. I tried banshee but it doesn't play many files saying "No codec". Bacshee is native to GNome that's why I wanted to use that
@ Gary,
Linux is able to detect my bluetooth adapter & my phone. I just can't browse the phone anymore

I am unable to fix the bluetooth problem. With datacable i m able to transfer files but not able to send SMS etc using Wammu.
I installed the tango themes for GNome & Firefox. There was a new skin, Darklooks which is good but if I use it then Mint menu looses all it's colours.

Ah for sending files you might want to take a look and see if you have the package gnome-vfs-obexftp. By the way before you send files Open applications > Accessories > Bluetooth File Shareing (Something with a blue antenna icon
Im on a Win system at an internet cafe so IM nto sure if it was called that. Then try sending files from/and to the phone ) Hope this helps.

gnome-vfs-obexftp is installed, double checked.
Even with that bluetooth icons, i m unable to browse my phone over bluetooth. When I try to send files, my phone is unable to detect the computer
Any ACDSee like photo manager for linux?
Enough of configuring. I m working since the last 2 days & haven't even been able to configure 10% of the system. Gnome sux. Period.
I m getting Kubuntu, atleast in KDE things work

aaaaaaaaaa Gnome hardly has anything . I want to switch to KDE.
There is a Linux Mint DVD of 1.05 GB & in synaptic KDE is 282 MB. Is there a way to download some big package for later use? So that if I reinstall Linux I can reinstall KDE Using that.
Downloading Picasa right now. I am familier with Picasa so might be helpful

Can he run kdebluetooth? it has a much better GUI than struggling through all this. I guess if its available in Kubuntu, you can install it in Ubuntu too.

Hey, if I installed KDE, then how do I switch to KDE & remove GNome?
I backed up my cache folder, & reinstalling Mint. How do I download KDE 4 RC1? KDE when searched in Synaptic shows only 3.5.
Or should I get Kubuntu?
What should I do? Switch to KDE cos it has more features or reinstall & give mint another try. I just hate crystal icons of KDE Now

You do not have to install full KDE to make kdebluetooth work. You can see the dependency list here
Just see if you can find kdebluetooth package in your synaptic. You may have to add Kubuntu repositories, am not too sure about that. Once you find the package Synaptic will take care of dependencies.
Now as for the look in KDE you can see mine. Offcourse its Open SuSE, but KDE on ubuntu would look similar with that theme
