 yes, I've thought of it;
 no, I haven't (yet) tried it.
 there's some software which I haven't downloaded yet,
 called k<something-or-other> (cannot recall the name
 off-hand, sorry!), which claims to work with (among
 other models) my phone, so I thought I would give
 that a try first.

 querying the phone does list obex as a supported
 capability, which is why I was trying obexftp(1).
 I assume, ATM, the problem is between the eyes and
 the fingers, but this remains to be re-proven.  ;-)
 (there are definitely other reports of getting the
 phone to work reasonably.)

 yes, it's a Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR).
 BTW, I've _not_ heard/read before the claim only
 CSR works out-of-the-box.  you could be correct,
 but I know of no confirmation of this?

cheers!
