I bought a new mobile phone: a Siemens C72. It works great with GNU/Linux. So far, I have been able to:

  • use the irda port between my laptop and the phone (with irda-utils)
  • connect to the Internet from my laptop with GSM standard (9,600b/s!)
  • send and receive sms from my laptop (with gsm-utils)
  • transfer files from my laptop to the phone (with obexftp)

It is a cheap phone with standard features (including this irda port and the modem).
