Hi Hendrik!
I posted list of phones supported with PCCSDK 3.0 on the Open Discussion. Here it is once more (Page 6):

If you want to implement actual devices, PC Suite Connectivity API 1.1 must be implemented, and PC Suite>=6.6:

You searched for a method to work without PC Suite. There is a new Document about it on Nokia Forum:
http://sw.nokia.com/id/85b9d2ee-83f1-4c7b-8e71-0b1e35d0c1e9/PC_Connectivity_over_BT_in_Java_Apps_with_Example_v1_0_en.zip
In my opinion, before you update on PCSC API 1.1, you should devide your work in two goals:
1. Add-On for Thunderbird, only with Bluetooth (3rd link)
2. Extension for PC Suite, that sync's with Thunderbird as with Outlook.
I didn't go deeper in thema Java with Bluetooth, but it seems to me that this is a solution that it could be platform independent, then a Java VM should communicate with a device. Such add-on should work more or less under Linux. Devices without Bluetooth won't be supported, but the same procedure could be done later for USB or IrDA. And another important argument is, it works with every bluetooth handy, with apropriate "argument link" (i.e. what is "mobile nr" on device, and what in Thunderbird).
On the other hand, 2. solution leaves this problem to Nokia PC Suite - "only" thing to do is to sync the "tables". Convinient, but windows only. and Nokia only. But all nokia devices!
I'm ready to help. Your turn ;-)
Greetings,
Dino
