I just got what Tracfone calls a "Motorola W175". This page:
http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/compare-plans.aspx?stid=770&iid=7256
leads me to think it's a modification of an existing model, so that Tracfone
can call it an "exclusive", and oh, BTW, it hinders comparison shopping.
For instance, Wal*mart sells what they call a "Motorola W175-4".
I've read that runs Mobile Linux, but that doesn't automatically confer
interoperability. It connects to a host computer by USB for charging,
and presumably for data transfer too. "lsusb" identifies it as "22b8:40c0
Motorola PCS".
Has anyone heard of a method by which the user can access the data on _any_
phone?
