Just wanted to say that I tried on Windows and file transfer is extremely slow in this phone and the K750i. By slow I mean slower than half a USB 1.1 connection. A 6MB file can take up to 2 minutes to transfer. I transferred 1.4GB worth of music to the phone in about 5 hours (!!!). No difference by using the software provided by Sony with the phone.
Now, all problems on Ubuntu I had when transferring large amounts of data, say 100MB. My guess is that the umount operation simply fails because the device is still in use, still flushing all data to the phone. As far as I understand it, files are not written to a USB removable disk straight away, but at umount time.
Is there any way of mounting this kind of devices so data is written straight away to disk instead of waiting for umount? This way the user will see the file transfer dialog for all the actual amount of time files are written to the device, instead of flashing for 1 second and then needing two hours to umount silently, which users will find confusing...
