This summer my beloved thinkpad x301 died in a cloud of smoke. It was exactly 3 years and 20 days old while my warranty was valid only for 3 years. Now, don't tell me this is a coincidence. Anyway. After about 5 months, I finally managed to convince my employer to get me a new thinkpad, the x220. My specs includes a 128G SSD , 4G of RAM, 2.4Gz processor, camera and fingerprint reader.

It's a pity that the x300 series is not in production anymore. They were light, with a solid battery and a large screen. The X1 just don't cut it.

The other day I played a bit with gammu on my laptop. The integrated modem is an Ericsson F3507g. There are a lot of useful info about this modem. This is just a resume different info I found on the net.

First you would need to install gammu, that is packaged for debian, so no prob. The to connect to the modem you would need a file .gammurc in you home directory (or in /etc) and the correct permission to talk to the modem.
