It looks like what happened with my 6610i and has been reported on this
list with other 6100's using the IrDa protocol. As far as I can remember
yours is the first time it happened using the RS-232 protocol. At the
moment I only use smsd with my 6610i to store sms's from the phone to my
computer and use the phone to connect my laptop to internet via GPRS.
Those things seem save.
