Description:
 KMobileTools is a nice KDE-based application that
allows to control mobile phones with your PC.
It handles full SMS control, dialing calls,
phonebook, and phone status monitoring. It's also
integrated with the KDE environment, so it can be
embedd in Kontact, or import/export from and to
KAddressBook
It's based on a Motorola C350 mobile phone, but
has also a good support on all AT compliant
devices.
--------------
As summer is coming, the 0.5.0 final version is
near too!
 The (hopefully) last beta was just released,
including one of the most wanted features: the
Gammu Engine.
 It's still a bit too difficult to configure, but
it's fully working, ready to be tested.
 More information and instructions on the gammu
engine can be found in this page
 The changelog is short, but this version also
includes a lot of bugfixes, some of them user
contributed, and full support to the new incoming
kdebluetooth version, which will be an important
release.
 Listening to our users, we also added KNotify
support for notifying the user about events.
 
 And some news from the KDE 4 development:
KMobileTools was just accepted and added to
KDEPim, so it will be in the default KDE4
installation.
