Has anyone managed - or even tried - to make Nokia's Symbian S60v3 
-phone and Linux cli-utils to talk with each other properly to get sms's 
and phone numbers read from the phone?

I had a hard enough job getting my S60v3 phone to connect to the official 
windows software!  Next task is to work out how to transfer all the contacts 
to my car (my old S40 phone did this automatically, apparently S60 phones 
don't do this, you need some extra software on the phone...).

I don't care about the official Win-software :p nor car (it's enough to
get the phone paired with hf-set). I'll see what it can do when my phone
arrives. Nokia webshop guessed it would be 3-5 working days, it now has
been 7. At my ordering history it reads they've sent the package 2.10.,
which would mean it has been in the hands of courier for over a week!
The package tracking system also doesn't work. I emailed them the day
before yesterday, but they haven't answered yet.

I'm still very annoyed with my S60 phone.  After much research and talking 
with Nokia and BMW, it appears that Nokia do not implement the particular 
Bluetooth profile in S60 that allows the car to receive the contacts 
database from the phone.  There are several "hacks" around on the net, but I 
can't get any of them to work.  Nokia basically said to me "it won't work, 
and it can't be fixed by a software upgrade".  This is totally ridiculous, I 
am really considering going back to my old S40 phone, or looking at 
smartphones from companies other than Nokia.

I ordered mine through Amazon, it was here in under 24 hours :-)

So was I, I sent it back.

I waited 1 week, noticed that the package tracking doesn't work and sent
them email. I waited another week and sent another email. I waited
couple of days and called them (0,19e/min - for them!) and had already
decided that they're not getting the deal after all. I explained the
situation (the call to 10 minutes, of which over 5 minutes was purely
unnecessary waiting), they gave me another tracking code (which worked)
and asked me to check if the package physically is at the post office. I
told them that I'll be at the post office around 17:30 (it closes at
18:00) and they promised to call me around then. No call was made, I
didn't check out the package and the postal office sent it back.

So, I'm now temporarily jammed with my shitty S40-phone (6021). I did
order Wii to my technical hunger, though :).

What still bugs me is that it seems I'll need to contact my credit card
company also - they've debited my card, but haven't credited it.
