Phonemnt and Phonebak - bluetooth phone utilities

Hi, I made two scripts to manage my bluetooth phone.

Phonebak - simple script that requires gnokii. Source: https://bitbucket.org/wooptoo/bin/src/tip/phonebak
It saves the phonebook and SMSes from the phone. It taked no special arguments, just run it and it does the job.

Phonemnt - requires obexfs. Source: https://bitbucket.org/wooptoo/bin/src/tip/phonemnt
It's basically a front-end that scans for bluetooth devices, caches them and mounts them. Caching is cummulative, so it will remember all past devices. It tries to be a simple replacement for blueman. You need to create the MNT path from the beginning.

A typical usage scenario would be:

# scan and cache discoverable bluetooth devices:
phonemnt -c

Scanning for devices...
Cached the following devices:
    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx    somedevice
    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:yy    anotherdevice

# then mount a device:
phonemnt somedevice

# umount
phonemnt -u

# you don't need to scan again for already cached devices, just mount them:
phonemnt anotherdevice

# or scan / cache / mount interactively:
phonemnt -i

They're not a big deal, but they help me a lot.

Re: Phonemnt and Phonebak - bluetooth phone utilities

create PKGBUILDS and put them in AUR. Would be easier for people to install it then.
