Isn't that the phone based on a pilot ?

Theoritically yes. All the lowlevel device communication is handled be
pilot-link. So if you wrote a version of pilot link that talked to your
phone, it should be possible.

I'd suggest looking at the pilot-link source, and grepping the gnome-pilot
code (mostly in gnome-pilot/gpilotd/) for pi_* and dlp_* calls.
