[opensuse] Imaging mobile phone memories.

Hello all! Is there a way to mount a mobile phone, or any other PDA type device to image the memory map onto an image file? I need this for a recovery/forensic project i am looking into. Today i use several brand specific software running under windows to recover lost data from damaged or othervice unavailable phones. I would like to do this in Linux instead, and prefarably in a generic way so i dont have to use gazillion different softwares for the different brands out there. Any clues, pointers or trix i can look into? /Rikard
