I've now purchased one and have done some work on the usb subsystem to use it both as a modem and a Palm device. Have a look at the PR I just filed (with the patch in it): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=74849 The message I saw earlier is here: http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?155150000.1067738418 I've taken the liberty of cc'ing you, LER, just in case you still have the phone and would like to use it with FreeBSD. The section I've added to my /etc/usbd.conf file to handle syncing is as follows: device "Samsung I500" devname "ucom0" vendor 0x0830 product 0x0001 release 0x0100 attach "/usr/bin/su - welchsm -c '/usr/X11R6/bin/jpilot-sync -b'" Note that the vendor and product codes belong to Palm *not* Samsung. I prefer a full backup of everything on the phone but if you just want contacts/notes/schedule you can leave off the -b. Make sure usbd is running and this will fire off as soon as you hit the sync button (logged in or not!). Running the GUI interface for jpilot will also work -- IF you press the sync button *before* starting the program. Neither coldsync nor gnomepilot seems to work, though I suspect that with the newer usb setup in -CURRENT (creating ttyU* devices) that gnomepilot would work there. I hope someone else can get as much use as I am from this device! Sean
