Is there any way to fiddle with my wm5 8125 through linux? I want to go to the tnt 6.1 rom, and have limited access to a windows computer. I could also use an imac, though it would look weird connecting my phone to the computer in the office and downloading "shady" applications.

Thanks!

actually looks like synce, the linux synch program, has come a bit. check it out at http://www.synce.org/moin/

it didnt used to work. i ran kubuntu and tried to get wm6 to sync and it didnt work. i tried for MONTHS. then again when i tried it, the included synce builds with ubuntu were .9 and .10 was required for good wm5 support. i had to get the builds elsewhere which didnt seem to help at all. im not a linux guru at all. thats one of the reasons i dumped linux among others.
