   Not so solved after all   
      
   Linux and the phone both recognise each others device name but I can't get   
   pictures out of the phone  inbox.   
   The only option is "Print by bluetooth". The phone searches and fails .   
      
   maybe looking for a printer.   
      
   Back to square one. I can transfer phone camera files  but not inbox images.   
      
   The whole arrangement is very irritating
