Plug your phone to the computer, and it will show up as 2.1gb file-system. Browse and upload/remove music and other media.

To retrieve and backup your contacts and SMS-messages, install Wammu from the Ubuntu software Centre.

Before starting the application, go again to Main Menu > Settings > Connections > USB Setting and now select Modem. Plug your phone into the PC.

Start Wammu and accept the wizard. Choose Guided Configuration (next) Motorola phone (next) AT based (next) Generic (next) and from the drop-down menu select /dev/ttyACM0.

Eventually, you should see a message that the phone is connected.

The Retrieve menu will give you all contacts and sms-messages, with the option to export/back them up.
