Now I'm focusing on sync'ing with the Exchange server at my workplace (through Evolution and its evolution-exchange capability), which will probably be more useful to me in the end.
I have been trying for quite a while to get the DatebookDB to transfer, but I am getting nowhere. No matter what changes I make, Jpilot on the Nokia will not see any Date data, or crash. I compared DatebookDB.pdb and Datebook.pc3 files created on the Nokia to those created on the desktop and think I have them in same encoding, but still no joy. Did you ever get your dates to transfer? If so what did you do? I was able to get Address and Notes to transfer. My versions of Jpilot are the same on both devices (0.99.8) so you would think the data files would be interchangeable. I really would prefer not to use .csv import as I would like to get a wireless sync set up.
