The folks at Technograph found that Nokia PC Phone, a utility that turns Firefox or Explorer into a remote control panel for a Symbian S60 or S40 smartphone, works as advertised:

We were able to view the phone's messages and call log, and even manage the contacts themselves. Incoming calls were announced through a pop-up on the computer, with buttons allowing the user to answer or reject the call, and quickly send an SMS to the caller. Despite the use of Bluetooth, we spent the whole day connected to the phone at no significant cost to its battery life.

Though it seems that nokia PC Phone still needs some work, as "the program's lack of responsiveness makes it practically impossible to send and receive text messages." I won't be too hard on the Nokia. After all, Nokia PC Phone is still in the beta test phase.
