Using infrared adapter with Nokia 7250

Hey guys,

I'll hopefully be a frequent poster in this forum in the near future, but for now I'm trying to make sure my succession from WinXP to Knoppix will be a smooth one.

Can anyone let me know if there's a way to sync Nokia phones with PIM software using an infrared device?

Right now I have a fairly standard SigmaTel USB->IrDA adapter and using Windows XP. I can sync my contacts and calendar on my phone with Microsoft Outlook using the infrared connection.

Will I still be able to do this in Knoppix with OpenOffice (or KOffice)?

I've also found this software interesting:

Any help and pros/cons would be excellent - thanks guys I think I've had it with the Microsoft world.
