It's working. Great. The upper one is your phone, the lower one is your
Laptop.

That's another thing. There is no software on your Laptop to respond to
your phone.

It's just not installed. What you see in the terminal is a list of
capabilities your phone offers to your your laptop. I. e. it tells you
that it can be addressed as modem, as fax and for sending SMS (if I'm
not mistaken), and that it will exchange data via IrOBEX standard.

You need to install the package 'openobex-apps'.
To transfer a file to your phone, just enable the Infrared port on the
phone and type: 
'irobex_palm3 <filename>' 
Once the file has successfully transfered to the phone, the file will be
available in your message inbox.

To reverse the operation and transfer a file or picture from the phone
to your PC, just type: 
'irobex_palm3'

Then you should see:
'Send and receive files to Palm3
Waiting for files

.............HEADER_LENGTH = 13171
put_done() Skipped header 42
put_done() Skipped header 44
Filename = <your filename>
Wrote /tmp/<your filename> (13171 bytes)'

That means your file can be found in /tmp/ .


If you're interested in graphical frontend, have a look at
http://www.gnokii.org/ . 
It can be installed via synaptics or issuing 'apt-get install gnokii' in
a terminal. Gnokii doesn't support my phone so I've no experience to
offer. The distributor describes it as 'a suite of programs linked
against a backend library that allows communication with Nokia phones.
It current supports the Nokia 6130, 6150, 6190, 5110, 5130, 5190, 3210,
3310, 3330, 8210, 7110, 6210, 6250, 6310, 6510 and AT capable phones.'
Maybe it'll work for your phone, too.
