> Bug description:
> When you connect the new Sony Ericsson W980 mobile (cellphone) to Ubuntu
> viva USB port, Ubuntu thinks that it has detected a camera or does not
> detect the device at all. Ubuntu also gets confused with the music files
> and places them under the pictures directory.
>
> You are also currently are unable to transfer music and video too or from
> the phone to the computer, which makes the £300 phone pretty much useless
> because you are unable to use any of the features that you brought the phone
> for.
>
> Because of Ubuntu confusing with images and music (including non DRM
> protected music) there might also be an issue with transferring images to
> and from the phone
>
