I would like to add that the extent of the features "working" depend also on 
the phone you are using. With a Nokia 6230i for example, I can save my 
address book and sms list to disk, but I cannot save the addressbook to the 
mobile phone, nor can I delete SMS on the phone. Sometimes I can send SMS, 
sometimes not... :-) Also with my old siemens me45 some years ago many 
features already worked.
The Nokia works (partly) with kmobiletools 0.4.3.3 on Suse 10.2 [.0, .1] and 
Ubuntu [6,7], both with bluetooth. However, saving SMS and the addressbook is 
enough for me at the moment. 
[BTW, GPRS-Bluetooth Online Services are working too, but that's not 
kmobiletools' job.] I tried several nokia phones with a parallel or USB 
cable, without success. Bluetooth seems better choice, unless you're running 
Kubuntu 6.x which seemed to lack some GNOME bluetooth authentication 
libraries standard Ubuntu had.

I am looking forward to the stable 0.5! 

A very happy Thanks to all the developers!
