Hi I (and a lot of contributors to the Nokia forums) would like to use the Nokia PC Suite in Wine. The current status in the AppDB of Nokia PC Suite http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1026 v7.x.x.x is "Garbage" because, although installation and all the other functions now (wine v1.2.2) work just fine, it is totally useless without its "Connect a Phone" function. I have written in AppDB:-

Running Wine 1.2 (latest version on ubuntu repository), trying to install nokia pc suite 7.1.51.0. I get past the license agreement (all icons are black though, but it's not hard to guess which one is "NEXT") and choosing which directory to install to (accept the default). But then it quits and I get a window that says, ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE. According to your website this has been tested and should install, so what's wrong?
Using latest Ubuntu-10.10 wine the installation is all visible. No connectivity, but there IS kernel support. Still investigating - will report more later...
The kernel connects to my Nokia 6300 by USB as /dev/ttyACM0 I have used this with with wvdial (and other apps) to use the 6300 as an Edge modem and also with kmobile-tools to sync contacts. Surely there is a way of linking /dev/ttyACM0 into wine as a raw USB or serial port? Anyone know how?
