Kontact mobile trial

Hello,

Kontact Mobile developers are looking for volunteers for usability trial

If you own a N900 phone and have tested or want to test Kontact Mobile it would be great if you participate in our current user survey- a diary.

More info here.

Re: Kontact mobile trial

I wanted to try this..but need to get 81MB of archives? ...what is it really? a new desktop..like kde? ..sorry for a nub ques! but really wanna try it..

Re: Kontact mobile trial

It is complete PIM solution - but not whole desktop. It drags with itself many kde and pim libraries required for proper working.

Looks like this project died:

Thanks for your comments. We have encountered some performance problems. So we will create new packages to solve these. All people having trouble with start-up / performance should wait for those to arrive.

too bad - it could have been a fix for this maybe...:(

Re: Kontact mobile trial

The project is not dead. In fact, there was a new update as recently as last week. You can get more info at

More letters for no reason....

Re: Kontact mobile trial

I tried it a while ago (before my N900 went in for repair) and it was barely usable, anybody have better luck with newer versions?

Re: Kontact mobile trial

I just installed it, don't have time to give it a proper run-through but I fired up the contacts and calender apps and they seem pretty slow for day to day usage.

Interesting:

This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference.

but they need more redaction, that page still points to

Could be interesting (I have used kmail for years)
but this is a bit scary:

Note that the first start of any of these applications will take a long time, as it has to spawn some stuff that works deep in the background. Expect an initial waiting time no shorter than a minute.

KDEstuff on an overclocked watercooled quad core 3ghz
machine with 8g of 64bit ram and a 256g SSD
connected by 512mbs ISP service
is way cool - can't wait to see how this works on the n900.
