Will the Nokia 6150 and a Palm Pilot work together via the infra red
port?

The infrared port on the 6150 is IrDA complient. Therefore if the Palm
Pilot port is as well then they should talk.

I was using a 6150 along with my Palm IIIx until last month, and the
only things you can transmit by IR are logos and SMS. I used NokiGGE
for the logos and there's a couple of apps for SMS management, but no
contacts sync. Note that you won't be able to use the 6150 as a modem
by IR, since this phone has no built-in modem. You need a special
cable and software from TDK, the Global Pulse connection kit.

The 6150 is a good but old phone now (launched in '98). Try to get
hold of a more recent one with a built-in modem (6210, 7110, 8210,
8250, 8810...).

It has IR capability, but it's not compliant to the IrDA standard that
other phones use. The 6110 and 6150 are outsiders in the IR world.

Wrong. The 5110/6150 IS NOT IrDA compliant.

Not any more. There has been an interprerter available for PalmOS for
some time now that attempts to bring folks in the 61xx lepper colony
back into the real world. Do a search on http://www.palmgearhq.com
